You can probably make it happen. If your program uses all the same tricks that worked with 6502 BBC BASIC to reduce the interpreter overhead, the ARM BASIC version will run as well as it can. Then imagine your program does a lot of integer

I didn't enjoy using Plastic, but Perforce is ok (not to say that it's perfect - I miss a lot of git stuff). It does have no problems with lots of data though! This article moans about the overhead of a 25 MB png file... it's

For the record: the cmake profiling data did help a bit. On macOS it seems that the configure stage does 200+ try_compiles, largely due to SDL2, and each one somehow takes ~2.3 seconds. So that's 460 seconds right there. And regarding

You might need to specify --profiling-output= as well. I get an error fdrom cmake 3.31 if only the format is provided: CMake Error: --profiling-format specified but no --profiling-output! Anyway, it looks like it only profiles the configure

If you use the Visual C++ compiler on Windows, vcperf is worth a look: https://github.com/microsoft/vcperf - comes with VS2022, or you can build from github. I've used it with projects generated by UBT and CMake.

Wait, where's "here"? You just said you'd seen the police do nothing about somebody overdosing - and now you're saying that's exactly what they never do, where you are. Wherever that is.

This is not a homeschooling mothers' Facebook group though. There is absolutely no requirement for people here to agree, and/because the place will not fall apart if they don't - as you can see from its continued existence.

Richer players can keep losing for longer than you could, but that's fine: that means more money for you to win!

The money is a countable resource that players are motivated to win and not to lose. The game can be played with a substitute, but it doesn't pan out the same way, because the players don't have the same relationship to other kind

Slashes are used for dd/mm/yyyy as well. Dashes are indeed better if you want a separator. or use the separator-free ISO 8601 syntax.

But the first element is first whatever index you choose. Why 1, rather than, say, 99, or -3? (You should ideally be able to choose any of these options, and others - e.g., 5, 7, -200, 14,771,589,734,598,742,923,574,835, etc. - because they

In terms of the underlying bit assingments, bitfields have been pretty safe for a very long time now, as you can assume little-endian. Just a question of bearing in mind the packing rules, not too difficult given stdint.h. I went full bitfi

The index of the first element is always 0 plus the index of the first element. This means it sort-of doesn't matter what the index of the first element of the array is - but, viewed another way, it's an excellent argument for 0.

That's what I've always seen done with git or Perforce. The initial set of all likely IDE-related files is known (just talk to the people you work with...), so you just add all of them to the ignore list (of whatever kind) and off

No it isn't. When you deploy it as a noun, referring to the specific country, it needs the definite article. Some nouns, you can do without - but this noun, you can't.

What is an array? It's 3 variables: base, length and capacity. So why not decide that an array is just that. 3 variables of the right size and type. #define ARRAY(T,S) T S;size_t S##_length;size_t S##_capacity Then you can mak
