As far as I can find there are issues, namely that installing a package with dpkg can leave the system in a bad state. If I understand it correctly dpkg normally prevents by checking the paths it modifies, which ends up non trivial if the p

It would have to be done on the same hidden low level register manipulation as current speculation already does. Instead of rolling back to the wrong branch and starting over you would just drop it and continue with the correct computation.

Because nobody cares about performance. As far as I remember on Linux every C symbol not explicitly inline or static defaults to visible and dynamically linked. You can try to tell gcc to treat every symbol as hidden by default but at that

Ah, the paper describes a fixed method for the last selection step and also AI generated tests to reduce the results even more before that. Quite a bit better, even if the participation is still only simulated.

It may be limited to intermediate files, I assumed that the downside would be bigger since it is not a default and the description mentioned that some things may not be merged as well.

I think that requires separate function sections, which themselves may cause bloat and data duplication.

by josefx 5y ago
C++ can suffer from negative performance from template bloat in two ways: Templated symbol names are gigantic. This can impact program link and load times significantly in addition to the inflated binary size. Duplication of identical code

As far as I can find an integer overflow just sets the overflow flag and you need an explicit INTO instruction to check for the flag and run the trap handler.

As far as I can find that flag seems to be clang specific? Which distros even use clang? Also since the Kernel is not pure C not all safety options are safe, at one point a few distros enabled stack overflow protection, only to end up with
