FYI a new instruction selector is in development to replace SDAG.

Not sure why focusing on Mark Z. It sounds to me like rather "if Wikipedia was a business"...

I was basically answering "If you're putting lots of logic into ANY CI server you're doing it wrong!". There is a separation of concern: the CI server logic is a refactoring of things that are common to any project. If y

You have simple problems to suggest simple solutions. CI logic can gets complicated: What about cascade builds? The pipeline can't be handled in your build script. What about reporting? (list of compiler warnings in the build? List of

The lit test are not really "unitests" per-se, even if we try to consider them as it. We are writing them to stress a specific part of the compiler (can we vectorize this specific construct for instance), but they still involve a

So since this is a "dictionary" based algorithm, what about specializing the dictionary per content (content/type=javascript would have a different dictionary than html for instance). Also to embed Brotli for my custom appli

This is definitely something I'd really like to see benchmarked: how valuable is it to pile two different "compression" compared only the "complicated" one (gzip or brotli).

I don't see why template-based types would be able to be passed by value or returned? An interesting library is Boost::SIMD (!! not part of Boost !!): https://github.com/NumScale/boost.simd

Just curious: are you making sure your interviewer are actually first trying to code the project in 3 hours before judging candidates? I mean, it seems to me that most of my colleagues (and myself) are always very optimistic with respect to

So the C++ way is either to write a code generator for your own DSL, or to write a library that would allow to write you grammar in an eDSL fashion. No pain, no gain ;)

Indexing is fine, a great feature would be if Google was able to show it only to the user that can access it.

There is a tradeoff between having a dense and compact IR and being able to modify it very easily. LLVM tends to focus on the second. Even if there are plan to balance a bit more, this will take a lot of time (and benchmarking).

LLVM instruction selection is slow , there is a "fast-path" which hasn't received much attention (it is only used for -O0 in clang). The new instruction selector work just started and will take a couple of years, considering

This seems to me to be very close to what Pythran [0] is doing (since 2011), except that Pythran includes some type inference and bridge with Python code. So view through that lens I'm not really seeing the novelty right now? [0]: htt

C (or C++) in 2016 and no mention of ASAN/UBSAN(/TSAN)? This seems like a must nowadays.

Thanks for the answer. I'm familiar with the "Impedance mismatch" that EDSL have in C++. If done right, it can be very limited. For example, I like what they did with NT2 (for Matlab programmer): https://www.lri.f

The question I would have is more: what is the value-added of your own compiler here? Could the same think be done with some C++ operator overloading, and a template library, and the runtime?
