Passing file handle is different - a well written library would check and handle errors, but pointer to buffer - and I don't expect a library to "try" and "catch" (even if it's possible) cases. Would strlen do

WIth mmap you have to be prepared to handle unexpected page fault errors due to corrupted volume: Unlike standard read/write, where one can handle the issue, now it can happen anywhere the memory is mapped - your code, third party libr

On the other hand, flutter has plenty of state management options :) - https://docs.flutter.dev/data-and-backend/state-mgmt/options - it's like living in the US, you don't like how your state is managed

Generated outputs, especially when source code (headers, etc.) are important to keep for debugging later.

Also, why not have some sort of graceful degradation (well kind of), like: OS Boots, loads CS driver, the driver loads some new feature/config, and before/after new recent thing ("runtime flag") marked whether it success

Awesome info!!! Thanks a lot!

Relatively how expensive is to capture the callstack when doing sample profiling? With Intel CET's tech there should be way to capture a shadow stack, that really just contains entry points, but wondering if that's going to be use

Without reading the whole thing, and with modern C# in mind - would that be "auto-struct" of a Java-class, without say so explicitly?

I don't want to deal with maintaining a pure Linux laptop, and I don't want to be limited by OSX/Windows (for different reasons). Chromebook, by far, is the easiest to get good amount of linux for development without much iss

by malkia 2y ago
I only wish for more powerful Chromebook - like 32GB or even 64GB of RAM, 3-4TB of SSD - maybe proper accelerated GPU, maybe discrete one.

Can you explain further? Yes, it takes more effort to express, or rather to create .bzl files to express these dependencies (e.g. let's say we have Python using C/C++) - but once it's done it gives a higher level (BUILD) lang

I'm spoiled, as I worked for 2-3 years at Google, and coming from gamedev - I was wtf is this thing, then when I quit I started missing it. I've used with Java, Python, some C++, some R, bash, sawzall and few other langs. The beau

Sorry I meant to say is that inlines are now individual functions, so the amount of callstack entry items is going to grow. But then, if you capture the stack (using sampling), and catch for example ThreadContext switch while CreateFileA is

by malkia 2y ago
On Windows, I tend to often see callstack frames going down a lot, especially in C++ debug builds where inlines are no longer such. On top of that if you have work-stealing task scheduler, that if your current thread waits on I/O reass

Ah - sorry, now I understand. Also TIL - This might not be right away accessible on Linux, unless certain config is done/set. Thanks!

You can totally access these stacks from userspace - https://github.com/gabriellandau/ShadowStackWalk

by malkia 2y ago
None of these are realistic, if you have to use third_party software, because that one may require them, and then all bets are off. The only way to enforce this, if you are in full control of the source code you are in - for example the Gam

When you've become so bad at quality, they would even find bad cases from when you did real good years before that!
