Speaking as another native spanish speaker, I also basically never use accents. I sometimes add them by applying spellchecker suggestions in formal writing (Work emails, etc) when I see the red squiggles.

Lately I've been forcing myself to finish books since I'm learning a new language and half the point of reading the book is practicing reading in that language. And in this case the struggle might just be related to lacking langua

Isn't the difference in it being required, and opt-out (unsafe) in rust, but opt-in here? Also, my understanding is the rust compiler guarantees "soundness" in safe rust, so it checks and validates that the function signature

He claimed he only missed "a few days", and that he had given advance notice 1-2 months of notice. I don't see the problem with that.

Could you elaborate on 13-16? I have no idea what you could possibly mean, and the linked blog post doesn't help. As far as I know UB needs to execute for it to apply and make a program invalid. The linked rust blog post is about how i

The blog post does not support the assertion that unreachable UB which is not executed is a problem. It starts by saying > The Rust compiler has a few assumptions that it makes about the behavior of all code. Violations of those assumpti

If it's read only, you can definitely want that, right? As long as the elements are Sync. And it should work (You might have a problem with the cleanup, but Arc or scoped threads should handle that). The problem is when one is a mutabl

It's not just about that. What rust sees is you are calling two functions: the len() function with a shared reference, and the indexing operator implementation for the Vec's [] (Which is just a function) with a mutable reference,

Isn't this already addressed by the GCC backend for rustc? (Via libgccjit)

by nickitolas 4y ago
I doubt it, specially if you compare agains the GCC rustc backend. I would expect most of the difference (If any) to come from the frontend. For example, if it doesn't do borrow checking, it might be able to shave off a bit of time. Bu

That is actually going to happen for rustc itself via the rustc_codegen_gcc project ( https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc ), this post is about a different project that writes a "from scratch" rust f

by nickitolas 4y ago
So it's not about platform support, but about toolchain integration? Who benefits from that, projects using C/C++ who want to use a rust library? Or is it about distro package maintainers?

I think the familiarity might be a double edged sword, since AIUI the proposed operator has different semantics. "ptr~field~field2" is not "ptr->field->field2", it's more like "&(&ptr->field)-&

No, this is specifically not creating a mutable reference. So it's fine except for the fact that writing via assignment like this calls the destructor/drop for the old value, if the type has a Drop implementation. That's why
