This issue is specific to glibc. Neither musl nor uclibc suffers from it. It seems that all versions of glibc are affected.

MTE is something like hardware-blessed address sanitizer. For more on MTE, I would recommend this nice short article: https://lwn.net/Articles/834289/

I found SQLite grow bigger and bigger: - For 3.7.8, its default build on x86 is only 350KiB (1). - Now it is 650 KB (2). This is really worrying, especially for the field of embedded development. [1] https://www.hwaci.com/sw

As for your thesis, i.e., components in embedded system, I think a critical missing piece is C/C++ dependency manager like conan/vcpkg, which IMO is the primary reason why such technology is not popular in embedded world.

Separation of concerns is a must for ordinary/mediocre programmers to take part in building complex software. Getting these guys involved is getting a good deal for society.

"Modern developers use IDEs, like NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, or even Visual Studio Code. " I'm curious how can Eclipse, one of the greatest java projects, be omitted? Then I saw the name of JetBrains at the end of the article,

I used to believe this, and failed miserably when studying algebraic topology. Intuition, the so called "feeling", is way more important than pure mathematical logic.

Is there an alternative way of donation? I want to donate to sci-hub, but DONT want to pay for cryptocurrency miners.

Er... Just about to make a monthly 5 bucks donation, then I read this.

In the era of wiki/scihub/libgen, the whole tutoring industry is worthless. They are just making easy money taking advantage of information asymmetry. Generally, easy money will not be allowed in China. Edited: I'm talking sp

I found the article kind of misleading: using memcpy for c-string is generally a bad idea, unless string length is bound with string buffer like std::string. Otherwise it will make code review very difficult. In our team c-string is prefixe

For the default setting, CDT is indeed very slow for large projects like Chromium. However, make change to eclipse.ini (providing large heap, the larger the better) and some preferences (mainly for how the code indexer works), CDT works smo

I cannot imagine Clion, which lacked proper Autotools/Makefile support a year ago, dominate the embedded world now. Due to the immaturity of LSP, the same doubt applies to VScode. Eclipse CDT, the long time king in embedded world, has

I read this 8 months ago, and forgot most of the technical details except that to use memory efficiently, you have to make good use of spatial and temporal locality.

Don't understand why such a good question is downvoted. Tencent is essentially doing the same thing as Alibaba in Chinese market.

I believe your description is quite typical in Sweden, which explains why the fight against covid-19 there is a total failure. Wearing masks is not only about protecting yourself, but also about protecting people you meet. I think wearing m

LOL Let's guess where your father's mask is made during this pandemic. Given that China has provided 200 billion masks, the answer is almost obvious. Please throw away all your masks made in China, right away! I'm also curiou

Can't agree more. As a longtime user of Eclipse CDT on Ubuntu Desktop， I've not seen the kind of bugs mentioned in the article for more than five years.

Ironically though many think CLion as a better IDE than Eclipse CDT, Eclipse CDT actually works smoothly for large projects like Chromium ( https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs... )

A large portion of problems of using Eclipse CDT is that the Language Setting Provider is NOT properly set. See the MDN article mentioned in another comment for more on this. CDT parser is NOT bound to any build system. You can make it work

You may have heard that Eclipse CDT didn't work out of the box. To make it work, you only need to understand how its parser work and how to properly set it up. It can support all build system, only if the build system can output the bu

Eclipse CDT is perfect for embedded developing, with no real competitor. Given the compilation command line output, its buildin parser can understand very large code base (the linux kernel, chrome browser et) efficiently and precisely, long
