(author) Should I add __attr(packed) to be on the safe side ?

(author) Is it because of bitfields ? Should I rather use a full 64bit data field and mask it to get to my flags ?

(author) My goal here is to : - merge what C++ std::string and std::string_view do into a single C type. - make it foremost fast . In 16 bytes, it fits snuggly into a xmm register. - use this one day in a new language runtime

(author here) Thank you. The license will come but I have a harder time understanding them than pointers haha.

(author) I just woke up minutes ago and see this... I intended to post this project on HN when it would be mature, not mere hours old... But here we go. I'll try to answer questions though I'm out of coffee. Related: to those will

Yes, that's how I see it. C can do anything - albeit ardously - and in the process of writing that transpiler to C in C I hope to make a huge leap in my understanding of C's model and of constructs in general.

To those having created languages, should I target LLVM or is transpiling to C a viable way (like I intend to) ? Transpilers to C seem rare, maybe for a reason..

Thank you all for the informationdenseresponses. In my outsider opinion, "Leben Versicherung Gesellschaft", as English would do it, is the best one as visually the fastest and sparing the genitive.

How much do you have ? If very high I wonder how it can happen, since I'd guess ancient admixtures should dilute a lot over time.

> textContent = response Good question (that none of the replies seem to address). That is exactly what I would do if rendering 'tainted' text. Can someone please tell us how it could be defeated ?

Fair warning : video of really poor quality. Blurry, white-washed presentation screen unreadable, camera follows presenter instead of focusing on screen.

> there is no C conference That's shocking to me. But this goes along the fact that C on the web is scarce.. > Code sight-seeing I would love to attend such C workshops.

But somehow humanity works as a whole for these achievements. The higher education, the infrastructure, the people merely cleaning the launch site facilities, all get a sense out of this.

Could this battle be settled through genetic analysis ? There have been large-scale populations sampling. Would it be possible to backtrace and reveal how say there is a very ancient asian source in Sapiens' makeup ?

That book is fascinating and markedly well written. The underground.. the schemes.. those characters ! It's killing me that Poulsen didn't release another such gem. There's plenty of material in this vein, beginning chiefly

Thank you. You don't seem to provide a c_str() equivalent (a method that gives a pointer to or copies out a C-string) or views ? Sorry if I missed them.

Would someone point me to a C implementaion of folly/FBString ? Or any C String OSS lib that is similar to what C++ std::string(/wiew) does ? More precisely, one that defines a datatype (no SDS-like trick) and has all goodies like

I think eventually energy price may sort this out.

Make a programming language. No, two ! One that will sugar-coat C, one that should ideally be the cleanest, efficientest scripting marvel on earth.

Thank you. This tool is on the heavy side, with its seemingly own query language. I was rather thinking of a specialized scanner (say only for C sources) that just looks for definite classes of vulns, not necessarily scriptable.

Interesting. This deals with chaining from input/env to outward actions like shell or files. It's indeed a bit specific but since Perl is a scripting lang it should have less inner dangers compared to say C.

The weakness is in the logger itself here, not Java per se.

Me too. More broadly, I'd very much like an energy meter for web pages.

For the moment, using higher-level languages seems a natural go-to. It's comfortable, and energy and hardware are abundant. But this won't last. Many energy sources and metals are peaking and I can imagine a day when efficiency wi
