We are making a Cargo-like build toolchain for C/C++, if anyone is interested: https://build2.org

Yes, thread-sanitized code is unbearably slow. Plus, you cannot use both ASAN and TSAN in the same build (but either can be combined with UBSAN).

This comes down to the cost of failure. If your app crashes or hangs sometimes, some of us might get annoyed but in the end we are all used to this now. It's a different story if your engine blows up from time to time. I am sure if eve

What hardware do you use for development and for testing? Can you elaborate on your setup, ARM-wise?

EPYC is compared to a previous generation Xeon with lower TDP (105w vs 155/170w) and slower RAM (2400 vs 2666). The Xeon server is more expensive probably because it has 4x the amount of RAM. Edit: actually, this is a dual Xeon machi

Yes, all valid/good points, thanks. We are packaging external libraries that we need ourselves (libmysqlclinet was "fun" -- it is actually a C-library with C++ implementation details). And getting some "critical mass&quo

Good question. Currently you will need to email a git repository URL and tag you want published (e.g., https://git.build2.org/hello/libhello.git#v1.0.0 ) and we will publish it for you (or you can provide a package arch

> if this can be used with a private repository Sure, you can run both archive-based and version control-based (git) private repositories without any restrictions.

I don't believe we can get to thousands of packages by packaging a substantial part ourselves -- we will just get bogged down in this instead of building a decent toolchain. Instead, the "secret" I believe is to make creating

Why would you go run (hunt) if there is still stuff (food) in your gut.

Ah, GNU make second expansion... glad to see someone else appreciates it ;-).

Right, RAM is part of the SoC... that probably makes the idea pretty much a no-go.

Or even 4G. Would be nice to have a high-memory variant especially seeing that that would require zero changes in the OS unlike most othet hardware variations.

Writing your own, general-purpose build system is a hard, multi-year project (spoken from experience[1]). [1] https://build2.org

>... wrap make to make it easier to make ... I think there is a deep truth in (unintended?) pun: those who don't understand make are bound to reinvent it, poorly.

Check build2, it has a sane build model and syntax and comes with integrated package manager/repository, similat to Cargo: https://build2.org

There is a fresh build tool that supports modules in the big three (GCC, Clang, and VC): https://build2.org

I wouldn't call a limit to two VMs friendly. Plus Apple doesn't make suitable hardware for this.

Shameless plug for open source C/C++ projects: if you add support for the build2[1] build system, we will CI[2] your project on Mac OS (as well as Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD with various versions of GCC, Clang, and VC) for free and wi

It is being implemented by the big three (GCC, Clang, and VC). In Clang and VC it is already usable to some extent.

Could you summarize how you handle this in redo? Also what about the case where a header file does exist but is out-of-date and because of that triggers an error (e.g., version compatibility check with #error) -- how do you handle that?

There is work on a sane build toolchain (build system, package manager, etc) for C++: https://build2.org (full disclosure: I am involved with the project).

IMO, it's more important what's happening on the ground, that is, in the compilers, than the "official" status in the standardization pipeline. After all, we've had export in the standard and we all know where it we

I tried. The problem is standing without moving seems to be just as bad as sitting. As you tire you will start shifting weight to one leg and locking the hips to one side. I then tried a half-reclined chair which was a bit better. Then I sw
