And if you are willing to depend on Rust code, there's also a C++ symbol demangler written in Rust... :) http://fitzgeraldnick.com/2017/02/22/cpp-demangle.html

You can go to "about:crashes" to get some more information about reported crashes. If you open a crash report and click the "Bugzilla" tab, you can find out if a bug is on file for that specific stack trace.

The Seattle metro area is 15th in size on that chart; it's much lower than (44th) that if you sort by growth rate. By absolute growth (which isn't in the chart, so I had to copy the data into a spreadsheet) it is 9th: M

Hi, I'm a Servo developer who worked on some of the Rust code that's in Firefox. Calls between C++ and Rust code in Firefox all go through "extern C" functions. Some of the code involves reference-counted smart pointer

In a web browser, typically the layout engine generates a "display list" which is a list of drawing commands that includes all of the rectangles, borders, text, etc. It hands the display list to a graphics engine to be rasterized

A simple but wrong proof of "P = NP" is easier to write in some ways, since you "just" need to provide a single algorithm for one NP-hard problem, and show that it runs in polynomial time. It looks like many or most of

And the initialization needs to conditionally throw an exception based on user input.

It is possible that adding two str slices like ("a" + "b") could be implemented in the future to produce a new owned String, but there is a technical obstacle to doing this in the near term: https://www.reddit

Further update: I now have a Rust program that is 100% safe code and is also faster than any of the unsafe programs (including the C and C++ entries): https://github.com/TeXitoi/benchmarksgame-rs/pull/55

> Is burntsushi's Rust implementation of memchr notably slower than libc's? Not as far as I know. A lot of this benchmarksgame code has evolved slowly over time and hasn't been cleaned up yet to use "modern" cr

by mbrubeck 10y ago
For what it's worth, this alternate implementation has only one line of unsafe code (a call to the libc "memchr" function) and is only 9% slower than the fastest unsafe version: https://github.com/mbrubeck&#x2

Note that in many of the other benchmarks, the fastest Java program takes 2x to 4x longer than the fastest C program. Still not bad! But knucleotide shows Java in a better light than most: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.or

Oh, that's a good idea. (It's unfortunate that neither my code nor yours is portable to non-Unix platforms like Windows.) UPDATE: Pushed a commit to my latest PR to replace the unsafe `File::from_raw_fd` with your `File::open`. T

In other Rust/benchmarksgame news, I just submitted a simple fix to the Rust program for "reverse-complement" that makes it faster than the fastest C++ program, on my computer. The old version was spending 2/3 of its ti

And it's not right. Rust programs can use epoll directly or through abstractions like mio and tokio. Thread-per-connection is the simplest way to do concurrent networking in Rust using only libstd, but it's not the way that most R

But there are some crates like https://crates.io/crates/typenum that implement type-level integers on top of the Rust type system, and quite a few other crates that then use these for things like array operations...

Almost all changes are effectively "staged" like this whether intentionally or not, because people upgrade at different times, and some fail to get updates completely. Making it easy to figure out depends more on writing clear er
