Raspberry Pi Pico is ARM though.

> Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH Wait, isn't this a fictitious company from breaking bad?

> Stray away from this model (e.g., relaxed atomics) Relaxed atomics are still data-race free, did you mean non-atomic accesses?

I, along with everyone in the embedded space, have been using separate function sections forever for --gc-sections and I would be very surprised if they really cause any bloat and …

> There are linker flags that allow some deduplication but those have their own drawbacks As long as you use --icf=safe I don't see any drawback, and most of the time it results in…

You cannot overload operators of integral types in C++, if you mean you can overload `int operator+(int, int)` to be saturating. You can create `saturating_int` kind of types easil…

Can you actually connect HDMI input to a thunderbolt only display? I have the LG 5K thunderbolt-only display and cannot use it with a desktop PC due to this issue.

Isn't this supposed to be a strength of framework? Their machines are pretty modular. Users should get to pick and choose AMD vs Intel, keyboard layouts, wifi chipsets without fram…

I've been using `expected`, i.e. value-or-error type, for a while in C++ and it works just fine, but the article shows it has some noticeable overhead for the `fib` workload for in…

Have you checked section 9.1 of the System V ABI doc?

There is no double indirection and allocation here, it stores the FILE* directly, not as a pointer to a FILE*.

Section 2.1.1 talks about fixed stack sizes though, so you only get to do 1 allocation, and in general it is not possible to precisely compute the necessary transitive stack size g…

I doubt that's possible with the C++98 preprocessor.

Disclaimer: I dislike iostreams and in our environment is completely banned. However, in C++98, how else would you handle when you have an arbitrary number of things to print in a …

I thought Zircon is the kernel and Fuchsia is the operating system. Though that wouldn't prevent Google from building Android on top of Fuchsia.

Could you explain how cmake stuff isn't portable or broken between different flavors of Unix? I comfortably maintain CMake builds that work on linux (with centos, ubuntu and arch),…

This fails when you want `4 + c` or `c + 4.f` etc. So you either have a gross number of overloads doing the same thing, or you just put an implicit constructor to `complex`. Also, …

> C language has some very limited implicit type conversions What? C will happily compile this: void g() { float f = 3.14; int* ip = &f; } C++ has no such _craziness_. Your strawma…

This is not correct, what you are thinking is implementation defined or maybe unspecified behavior. Please do explain the behavior of calling an uninitialized function pointer on x…

Maybe I'm missing it but I wish there was an ESP8266 board with a proper JTAG connector. I have hacked something on a protoboard for nodemcus before, but it ended up being pretty m…

It's for bare metal microcontroller development. It _can_ work for those, but you probably already have relatively better alternatives for those environments.
