Dang, will fix when I get home! Thanks Nick, and hi!

10 years ago, a coworker had a really hard time root-causing a bug. I shoulder-debugged it by noticing the bit patterns: it was a miscompile of LLVM itself by GCC, where GCC was us…

Typo, I fixed it in the new draft: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D3477R1.html

I added a mention of TI's hardware in my latest draft: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D3477R1.html

As mentioned by others, we've dropped trigraph and deprecated rand (and offer an alternative). I also have: * p2809 Trivial infinite loops are not Undefined Behavior * p1152 Deprec…

Yes, I'm trying to figure out which are still relevant and whether they target a modern C++, or intend to. I've been asking for a few years and haven't gotten positive answers. The…

Hi! Thanks for the interest on my proposal. I have an updated draft based on feedback I've received so far: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D3477R1.html

Hi! I'm JF. I half-jokingly threatened to do IEEE float in 2018 https://youtu.be/JhUxIVf1qok?si=QxZN_fIU2Th8vhxv&t=3250 I wouldn't want to lose the Linux humor tho!

Having it in .rodata is much nice than having it in .text

No, I’m a blade runner character.

You sound like fun at parties :p I’m glad you liked the oration and technical content though!

This is the way ;)

I will do prompt injection in the next talk, just for you

Good thing this was covered in the talk

I’m glad you appreciated me saying exactly this in the talk

That is entirely incorrect for the WebAssembly CG and WG.

I'd honestly just start with musl libc. The one Emscripten supports mostly just imports the same syscalls as Linux, with some ugliness to be able to do some DCE. If you clean that …

Interpreters can go a long way, but JIT code generation is required for really fast dynamic language implementation. That's quite a bit off for WebAssembly: https://github.com/WebA…

Your phrasing leads me to believe that you distrust how web standards organizations approve new features? If that's not the case then I invite you to join the W3C Community Group a…

A few ways that come to mind: 1. WebAssembly has almost no APIs to the platforms whereas Flash had a bunch (i.e. it's "as safe as JavaScript, because it can only call JavaScript").…

> What's the reasonable thing to do when a grow-memory instruction returns -1? A good assumption is that your WebAssembly binary already has an implementation of malloc which calls…

Same organizations, different people, and enough time to experiment with (read: suffer pains from) things like asm.js and PNaCl for those people to agree that something like WebAss…

In theory, yes, but WebAssembly current has put little effort on standardizing packaging and ABIs. That work is in progress here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions bu…

Hmm, that website mirrors github but got stale: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FutureFeat... It now links to here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1…

You should be able to write a very basic WebAssembly compiler in much less than half a megabyte. The WebAssembly format itself can be assumed to already be pre-optimized, and is ex…
