I'm not sure about moral per se, but LLVM is practically a painful dependency—it doesn't have API compatibility between versions, release builds are rapidly approaching a gigabyte,…

Vulkan capture support on Windows was introduced in v25 (on linux you need to use a plugin). There is no Vulkan renderer support—which the post clearly stated...

This feels like pfexec on Illumos/Solaris, although I’m too unqualified to say for certain.

With the common case of SimplifyCFG turning this into an assumption (for ReleaseFast), this is UB (LLVM def) unless you can prove that the assumption always holds. I suppose that's…

Do you have any specific examples here? While no compiler is perfect (e.g., pointer provenance), one could just as easily argue that Clang has higher quality—most modern C/++ tooli…

Linking is very parallelizable: see the mold linker for a demonstration.

It's a lot faster to add a log point in a debugger than to add a print statement and recompile. Especially with cargo check, I really don't see the point of non-debuggable builds (…

Not linking debug info must be some kind of sick joke. What is the point of a debug build without symbols?

The techniques discussed aren't anything new, but they might be useful if you are still using Makefiles. I'm new to blog writing, so please leave feedback so I can improve!

The fun thing with branch predictors is that they tell you where the next branch is (among other things like the direction of the branch). Since hardware is built out of finite wir…

A lot of this seems like it's done by Arcan ( https://arcan-fe.com )

This talk was enormously educational when I first dove into LLVM and modern compilers last January—Chandler is a great speaker.
