The -Wunreachable-code flag does work in clang, to some extent at least (I have a rather old version here so YMMV). Other tools that may help: The clang static analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org Valgrind: http:/&#x2F

It's very common. This is what many self proclaimed 'business people' are like. In places where aspiring business people congregate (like this site) it will be dressed up with euphemisms about 'social hacking' and &

The browser your employer ships only currently has partial support for flex box. Why do Mozilla employees insist on being misleading about Firefox's standards support? Flex box is not ready for mainstream use. Not just because of &#x27

Firstly, proprietary or not has absolutely nothing to do with this issue. The example I gave above was for fully open source software. The issue is that the GPL requires all the recipients of GPL software you distribute to also have the r

I don't think you have understood what jwr is talking about. The situation is this: You have some software you wish to distribute in binary form (with source available). You also have a patent licence that allows you (and only you) to

Looks like their penalty was fully deserved. It will be interesting to see if they are back in a few days like RapGenius was. I'm guessing that since Matt Cutts doesn't have any investments or connection to this UK firm that they

The Stallman post about LLVM being bad because it allows people to use it to build other tools was from 2012. Why did you ignore that? Plugins are only part of the story. Without stable intermedia representations there is still no GCC equiv

It's not a conspiracy theory. Could you point to the 'debunking' because I don't see one that contains any actual evidence?. There are lots and lots of public mailing list posts by RMS and other GCC engineers explaining

Apple is not the largest contributor to LLVM, Google is. The various other non-Apple contributors also outweigh Apple. It would be hugely expensive for Apple to hire all those compiler developers from Google and Intel and dozens of other co

I really don't see that happening. Google engineers are the largest contributors to LLVM/Clang these days. Why would Apple reject the contributions of a company that employs some of the best compiler engineers? It would make it mu

It largely stalled because of the web. Lots of SV startups for example are using GPL'd code, but because they only provide web apps they don't have to release their code. Worse still those startups often think they are on the &#x2

>They are working towards modularization. It will certainly not be an easy task. But I hope they accomplish that. gcc-xml was already written and the gcc devs refused to merge it. Has that changed in the last year?
