You apply the same process, but your hypotheses are "bug is before/after this bisection point". Your "probability of evidence given hypothesis before/after" are where you incorporate your guess about the tests

> Not sure about Rust, but it probably also uses some Rust macro magic to do something similar. Much the same as JavaScript I understand, but no macros; the compiler turns them into Futures that can be polled

It's a bit of a song and dance; you can turn a &mut T into a *mut T, and you can cast a *mut T into a *mut anything, but you can't do it in one step.

I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but I really appreciated my IDE adding extra information in function calls, annotating create(true, false) into create(initial_state: true, reset: false)

I think what you're looking for is std::any; https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/any/index.html The example there includes a function that takes Any + Debug, tries to downcast to a String, and if that succeeds it l

I don't think this or the sibling would be improved with a function that gave you an arbitrarily sized allocation where you also need to query the size of that allocation though? In all the cases you need to know what the size of the b

Sticking with x86, I'm pretty sure CPUID can tell you what the topology of all the cores you can query on are in. Not that I'd tell anyone not to infer it from timing, that just sounds like fun.

I think it's as naturally async as anything else here actually. If you're calling a function via IPC over shared memory, you're sending a message, signalling it's there to the other process, and waiting for a response me

You mention the most reasonable trick is to just avoid hammering/read-write the same cache lines; I guess you didn't hit this as a need because your QEMU instruction pipe was fast enough, but would you batch up your events along c

It can change under other (rare) circumstances. Otherwise a collision between an already-chosen base address for one module and an allocation in your process would result in a failure to load that module into your process.

You _still_ need a consistent way to talk about values; IPC systems tackle the same problems under the name marshalling & de/serialisation. They just tend to take much more conservative options to deal with exactly this kind of pro
