   Not sure how realistic it would be, but I would like to see a RISC-V base core, and the FPGA implementing the extensions. Why? Because it would be cool! Also, I don't really see a use case except for debugging compilers supporting mult

   While sibling comments mention that it is probably wiser to learn digital logic before HDL (and I agree with them), I think it is important to also consider that there is now High Level Syntehesis where programming languages similar to C (e

   A little bit off-topic, but Hardy Heron was my first Linux distro. For reference this was on 2008. One more release after Groovy Gorilla and the naming convention goes back to the letter H. I'm really happy that Ubuntu is still around

   There's also https://github.com/intel/yarpgen which I haven't used. I believe there are a couple of others...

   Do you know how they would hash a recursive function? Or where I can learn about this? Thanks! EDIT: I am asking more about the hashing function than about the language. Because if there is a recursive function, that means that one would ne

   This is funny and also sad. I don't know if DFW would love it or hate it. Great art piece. I really value this work. Thanks for making this.

   I know the person who is working on an implementation of this in GCC. However, it is still early days and the implementation is not ready for public consumption. Other than that, I've only seen this transformation on academic papers.

    I might be biased because I'm currently working on this same optimization but for GCC. I think that it is more complicated than it seems. Defining the layout of a structure is normally done during parse time (at least in GCC). And one

    Mmm... I might be able to provide some insight... For the C language it is not possible to reorder fields generally at compile time. This is because if a user defines a struct and the struct is passed to a library that was pre-compiled,

    "I also wondered if I can make a TCCPP until Iearnt not only C++ syntax is ambiguous (and so we need some form of context sensitivity)" I believe a C parser would also need some form of context sensitivity. "T * x;" can

    I guess it depends on the optimization function? However, I suspect to avoid loops there will be loop unrolling and to avoid interprocedural analyses (which I believe is beyond the scope of Stoke) it may use inlining, which may increase the

    Yes, but this paper is old so they did the right thing by using SPECjvm98 at the time the paper was written.

    I think you are missing the point of the parent post. He is not stating that the 10,000 rule will make you a jack of all trades. He is saying that he was able to cut down the "10,000" hours to less because of his transferable skil
