Drepper's "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory" [1] is a good resource on a similar topic. Not so long ago, there was an analysis done on it in a series of blog posts [2] from a more modern perspective. [1] https

In my experience of sharing violin plots with people who are unfamiliar with them, it's not intuitive that the curve represents the distribution. Even with the scatter plot over/underlaid. But that's okay, I don't mind

I've used creduce (and cvise) to reduce test cases for all kinds of inputs, even ones that aren't C-like. If it has newline-delimited text, it'll work well (though you should adjust the knobs accordingly in order to converge

Where is "there"? Texas is a fairly large state, spanning ~11 degrees of latitude. The climate in Houston differs from that in Arlington, for example.

It does work from what I can tell. One thing I've not tried is using the expression parser for lldb. I'd be a little bit surprised if that worked for rust and slightly less surprised if it worked for zig.

I frequently bring up ASan on HN. it's a great way to mitigate C and C++'s shortcomings. But it's not a panacea and unlikely to be described that way here without swift rebuttal. C or C++ w/o ASan and UBSan is like skydi

It makes for dramatic headlines, intended to scare Qualcomm customers into bringing pressure to bear on Qualcomm to settle with ARM. The laptops are supposed to make their retail debut in the next day or two. I think a court would be crazy

If I had to guess, Qualcomm negotiated their architectural license before revealing their acquisition of nuvia. And maybe the nuvia license gives more favorable royalties than the Qualcomm one?

The lawsuit is still outstanding. Presumably the claimants would not seek to enjoin distribution of the new design, that would be suicide. They probably just want royalties that Qualcomm would ordinarily have negotiated on their own as an

It always feels really tricky imo. Intrinsics are preferable if the functionality you need is at all possible with those. But I'd be surprised if you could easily clear the BSS with those. And who can remember what early clobbers is?

This distinction is important for the sake of performance but not (or only barely) about compatibility. This thread focuses on functionality and the linux support referred to in the title is devices and not the CPU, which -- as you've

This is not a "static" evaluation of the library dependencies, it's a loader debug flag. So it's not quite the same thing.

Oh, I'd thought some significant effort had gone into emulating the CPython C extension interface. But maybe even with that, it's unable to support some extensions?
