It seems that pretty much everybody here is confused by this article. One user even accused it of LLM plagiarism, which is pretty telling in my opinion. I for one have no clue what anything I read in there is supposed to mean. Emulating a G

I don't think that's true when the add overflows. You wouldn't want a lane's overflow to carry into an adjacent lane.

I have seen multiple users of one certain popular programming language claim that data structures besides a dynamic length array and a hash table have no useful application.

EVE is personally my favorite SIMD library in any programming language. It's the only one I've tried that provides masked lane operations in a declarative style, aside from SPMD languages like CUDA or OpenMP. The [] syntax for tha

You can also make your own functions skippable by default with either the `[[gnu::artificial]]` or (the newer and more generalized) `[[gnu::nodebug]]` in GCC and Clang.

A few years ago with GCC 10, I had some strange UD2 instructions (I think) inserted around some inline assembly that was fixed by replaced my `reinterpret_cast`s with `bit_cast`.

Although Clang does set the `__GNUC__` macro and you have to distinguish it using the `__clang__` macro, Clang and GCC also both have very fine-grained feature detection features as well, both at the CLI level and in the preprocessor (such

Raw multi-line R"()" strings in C++ reduce some of the tedium. I wrote myself an Emacs tree sitter pattern to highlight asm syntax nicer than a string normally would, which helps. There is also the stasm library (which I haven&#x2

Not to dissuade people from looking into alternatives, but the high quality integration that Git has with every single code editor in wide use today is a huge advantage over every other VCS imo. As far as I can tell, the closest to it in th

I've been very impressed by Slang as an open source project. The development team is quick to respond to issues and review pull requests. It's clear from their repository and their presentations that they take Slang seriously as a

I think the EVE library for C++ is a great abstraction. It's got an unusual syntax using subscript operator overloading, but that winds up being a very ergonomic and flexible way to program with masked-SIMD.

There's free food, nice paths to walk, and a 10 minute bike trail to multiple nearby apartments. Idk, I'm excited to try that lifestyle. It'll be new for me.

I've written a little demo here: https://godbolt.org/z/xn1eqd5zb You can see where CPPFront inserts a `cpp2::move` call automatically, and how that differs from a superficially equivalent Cpp1 function.

You can write SIMD in Go asm, and wrap it up in a normal Go API. It's not great though.

As an outsider, I'm curious what directions those are. Are you referring to effects or keyword generics or something else?

There are several semantic differences between Cpp1 and Cpp2. Cpp2 moves from last use, which is the biggest one. In a contrived example, that could result in a "hello world" changing to "goodbye world" or any other arbi

I'm not sure that issue would be caught by ordinary testing. It will implicitly cast into long long, so it might make little or no difference in this case.
