AFAIK: you also link to a different (lower!) glibc version from the one on which you do the compilation, probably solving the problem you had without having an excuse that you linked an "untested" library.

To be clearer to those who don't read what's linked but reflexively downvote: zig is not only the language, it's also a build system that compiles C (also in Go CGO use scenarios) better than the default C compilers, allowing

Is this something inherent in CGO implementation? If your dependency happened because the compiled library depended on it, do you know that that is probably avoidable (I haven't tried your use case, so I could be wrong) by using zig as

I would need to read more about that to understand how it could be a problem. You see, I've literally spend decades using C and I can never imagine how adding that what I understand to be huge dependencies like wazero.io and executing

Many thanks for this good answer, that level of detail is exactly what I have been missing up to now. I'm surely aware of the fact that C cross-compilation is often very clumsy implemented. But I also have to mention that there is a pr

I'm still missing some details to understand that story, as I don't believe that there is any platform that Go supports on which C sqlite would not run, more the opposite, the memory requirements of wazero.io way must be clearly h

I'd like to read what the actual benefits of not linking to C sqlite implementation are. I can imagine using wazero.io for libraries, but I fail to understand _why_ would anybody prefer to run sqlite that way from their own go program,

Whoever types exit in REPL will never care what "repr(exit)" does. Python has a lot excuses about the need to remain "consistent" but the reality isn't so: >>> x = open( "/tmp/whatever1

by acqq 3y ago
I agree with that estimate, I think it was really the idea of Python to be less than "good" by design. I mean one doesn't need more than: >>> exit Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit to see. They hav

Actually, how was Turbo Pascal faster than the competition was completely obvious to those experienced in the software development at that time: It did everything possible in memory, avoiding reading and writing of temporary files. Microsof

AFAIK it was initially made to run on CP/M 8-bit systems, that 64 KB limit was a consequence. I know I've used it on CP/M first. It was really, really fast.
