If into compilers, it is all good.

Are you tired of dealing with different C++ compilers for every platform, cmake/make/shell build scripts, and dealing with static libraries? Me too!

I'm currently working on a #cpp project manager that aims to unify these aspects into one tool (heavily inspired by #rust 's Cargo tool).

I hope that it may prove useful!

AI accelerates coding but risks bloated, inefficient code. Lean tools ensure verification, optimization, and resource constraints to build efficient, sustainable apps. #AI #MemoryEfficiency #SoftwareEngineering #ToolChains #LeanDevelopment

Interesting tidbit about Rust as used in the Android OS: to prevent the trusting trust attack, and not rely on rust-lang.org build, they bootstrapped rustc 1.19 with mrustc (0.8.0), and then built all following rustc versions with their previous version.

Linux Kernel: Rust Support Officially Approved

Rust is becoming equal to assembler and C in programming the Linux kernel – at least officially, as there is still a lot of work to be done in practice.

Wow, riveting stuff: a bunch of geeks decided it's finally time for a #GNU makeover with #BPF support. They gathered at the 2025 GNU Tools #Cauldron to talk shop—because nothing screams #innovation like a cauldron and a horde of #kernel #enthusiasts 🧙🔧. Who knew #toolchains could be this exciting? 🌟

Next steps for BPF support in the GNU toolchain

Support for BPF in the kernel has been tied to the LLVM toolchain since the advent of extended [...]

In my book, this is -werror material.

It was an error to code it this way in the first place. It is better to write clear code, and beat the coompiler into submission.

-Werror is Not Your Friend - Embedded Artistry

22 May 2017 by Phillip Johnston • Last updated 27 October 2023I want to make a few points up front to short-circuit common misunderstandings with this article: I have a zero warning policy on my projects. I turn on a lot of warnings. -Wall, -Wextra, and a whole host of specific warning flags. I supplement … Continue reading "-Werror is Not Your Friend"

Fun times. Did you compare results between GCC and Clang yet?

I would eat first. This will be a PITA.
