You're asking about the ratio of "compiler bugs in code generation impacting behavior" to "bugs in C source code"? Obviously the number depends critically on the denominator... Defect density for DAL A software is w

When you start thinking about how to write correct C code, there are a few steps along the way. Glorified linters are a great first step; in the best case, they prove useful safety properties of code (no access to uninitialized variables, e

Alternators aren't needed for starting. Perhaps a similar issue with the starter motor? But even then you'd hear the thunk of the starter solenoid. Any audible clue definitely makes root-causing simpler.

It comes down to what the cost delta ends up being between FinFETs and GAAFETs, and if that's where the discontinuity is. I suspect that, even though EUV is "solved" now, the solutions are so expensive and sketchy that the DU

Yep, there will be continuing improvements to 28 nm as a long-lived node; 45 nm was a similarly long-lived node (as are 90 nm and 180 nm, still seeing plenty of use), and today's 40 nm is a heck of a lot more polished than 45 nm was at
