libC is an extremely leaky abstraction. Programming to it assumes you have a runtime that supports constructor functions, POSIX errno and locale, a global heap allocator singleton, and more. The design space of _Hello World_ is massively co

It's vitally important to know the perspective from which somebody evaluates the gender wage gap when I'm reading their complaints about Node.

He tried leaving many times, and other people convinced him to stay in WG21. Your posts are nonsense and you know nothing of C++ history or semicolons.

I think if you get three to five developers who are enthusiastic about X language, their collective knowledge will select good packages.

If one tyranny has namespaces and the other doesn't, I'll prefer the former.

The popularity of two similarly named Rust projects, Ruff and Ruffle, seems mildly unfortunate.

Clangd consumes the compilation database, it doesn't produce it. Clang is what does that.

Clang itself can do it, as can forks of Clang, so can Xmake, Meson, and Ninja, as well as Clang Power Tools for Visual Studio.

I don't like bear. If you want to update the compilation database with it, you have to do a clean build. Most build systems can generate the database without a clean build, and most compilers can generate it, so I don't see much u

I still get ads for obviously awful products at the start of some videos. Neither YouTube Premium nor adblocks can stop a creator from telling me about the latest monthly razor subscription for me to buy.

Optimistically, the explicit coroutine allocation proposal and the Clang-IR project should both make the situation a lot better in the future.

Rust doesn't have taint, and C++ does, making C++ the better option for any secure system with user-input.

XMake is by far the best option. There is nothing even close in feature completeness, nor in user friendliness.

Deducing this is not a feature analogous to anything in Rust, the language with almost no type deduction at all. It bears a vague similarity to constrained generic traits, but you really have to squint to see it.

What .ii for preprocessed files? And .ipp and .tpp for template implementation files?

I've never heard of unity builds including everything together. I'm not aware of a build system which even does that by default. If you enable unity in CMake, it groups batches of 5 files together by default, and the documentati

Meta's "Transcoders" or whatever they changed the name to demonstrate that. However, if we want perfectly semantically equivalent functions, as soon as you add two numbers, then Python -> JS is impossible. The best we can

https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/issues/382 This apparently does not support the Kitty graphics protocol, just Sixel, which makes it look fairly unattractive to me, personally.

I think, at least on programming language subreddits, there are people who deserve to be labeled experts. r/cpp has some frequent users who work on standards proposals or compiler features. There are also subreddits dedicated just to c

Other languages need tooling and featurefulness that is overall on par with C++ first. So far no low level language has profilers and debuggers that are as good, none have nearly as many compiler hints, and most are far harder to write zero

I'm actually a big fan of gud-mode and dap-mode in Emacs. They don't have as many features as some other debugger UIs, but the integration with the editor itself is unmatched imo.

If the UI is not GPU accelerated while you are recording, rr will work fine. You can even have GPU calls in the code while recording, they just can't be on code paths that are taken. So a simple command line flag that makes the code ch

C++ comes with a runtime which, among many other things, allows you to detect the microarchitecture and featureset of the environment you're running on using `__builtin_cpu_init()` which calls a dynamically linked function `__cpu_indic

Sadly rr cannot work on software that makes any kind of call to GPUs, so its usefulness is pretty limited on a lot of larger software. But when it's usable, imo it's amazing.
