I wrote a blogpost showing how you could do a similar thing in D with ImportC. https://www.davidpriver.com/C-macro-reflection-in-D.html

Are there any compilers that insert nops between real instructions in debug builds to allow inserting a jump to code to evaluate the expression? Conditional breakpoints are so slow it’s usually faster to add an if with the condition and rec

If a program is not responding to ctrl-c, sometimes ctrl-\ (which sends sigquit instead of sigint) can kill it.

In my experience, code reviews catch a lot of bugs. However, if you find yourself catching the same kind of bugs over and over again in review you should be finding ways to catch them automatically without involving a reviewer (static analy

Feels like many of these features should just be built into the browser. Why can’t the browser assemble a table of contents based on header hierarchy? Isn’t that the point of the number in h1-h6? Why aren’t elements with ids easy to link to

You could expand the number of lanes on I15 (like it is on the Nevada side) for a small fraction of what this project would cost.

The issues with physical currency are almost entirely self-inflicted. Governments should retire the smallest denominations and introduce larger coins/bills. In the US, all of the coins are worth so little that the only practical coin i

Since you’re updating it anyway, the very first example says "D has @property functions, which are methods that you call with what looks like field access, so in the above example, c.d might call a function.” It is true that `c.d` migh

I found my interest in video games died when I started working. Whatever button in my brain video games were pushing is now being pushed by the day job and I get paid for it.

Indeed, -Werror doesn’t make sense, but specifying specific errors (like -Werror=return-type to prevent forgetting to return a value from a function) is very, very necessary.

Make sure you plant native milkweed. The exotic kind is not good for the butterflies.

I don’t know why you’d want to live in the LA area and not own a car. One of the things that is actually nice about southern california is the ease with which you can go to the beaches, the mountains and other beautiful places and realistic

If your team is full of adults, you just pick a formatter tool at the beginning of the project, add it to your pre-commit hook and then never think about it again.

Leaderboard will be dominated by AI-assisted speed runners this year. I think I’ll just solve them in the morning this year instead of trying to get on the leaderboard (I can usually get in the top 100 on the trickier ones). Will be better

I do not expect standardization of features that do not exist.

This works for C, but not C++. And for C, it’s not that hard to do by hand so no one else bothers.

The ISO committee should not be in the business of inventing language features out of whole cloth. That is not how “standardization” works. They should only standardize existing practice.

You only know there are no mutations if Foo itself does not contain any indirections. Additionally, the compiler generally cannot assume that Foo_bar does not modify Foo as it is legal to cast away const as long as it is not originally a va

Arguments to sizeof aren’t actually evaluated (except for variably-modified-types, AKA VLAs, but don’t use those).

I disagree about the structs vs out-parameters thing. I’ve found it makes functions that could return an error much harder to compose and leads to a proliferation of types all over the place. In practice almost all functions can fail (assum

In a discussion like this you have to mention that Microsoft’s compiler extended volatile to mean atomic[1], although its default behavior depends on target ISA apparently. Regardless, just use c11/c++11 atomics at this point. 1. http
