When you buy movie tickets, you go see the movie. When I purchase a game, I generally don't have time to play it. We are not the same. This may be why gaming is a few multiples larger an industry than film.

In practice, one of the difficulties in getting _clang_ to assemble the Linux kernel (as opposed to GNU `as` aka GAS), was having clang implement support for "fragments" in more places. https://eli.thegreenplace.net&#x2

This work originally wasn't my 100% project, it was my 20% project (or as I prefer to call it, 120% project). I had to move teams twice before a third team was able to say: this work is valuable to us, please come work for us and focus

We're already starting to see people experimenting with applying AI towards register allocation and inlining heuristics. I think that many fields within a compiler are still ripe for experimentation. https://llvm.org/d

Some people care more about compile times than the performance of generated code. Perhaps even the correctness of generated code. Perhaps more so than determinism of the generated code. Different people in different contexts can have diffe

There's parts of LLVM architecture that are long in the tooth (IMO) (as is the language it's implemented in, IMO). I had hoped one day to re-implement parts of LLVM itself in Rust; in particular, I've been curious if we can c

`asm goto` was the big one. The x86_64 maintainers broke the clang builds very intentionally just after we had gotten x86_64 building (with necessary patches upstreamed) by requiring compiler support for that GNU C extension. This was right

Thanks for the example! There's a lot (of boilerplate?) here that I don't understand. Does anyone have good references for catching up to speed what's the purpose of all of these files in the demo?
