Idk about Bazel, but Buck2 (and Buck1, but 2 is better in every way) does handle adding -fPIC for shared libraries and leaving it off when statically linking. Each library has a PI…

starlark-rust (used by Buck2) supports this! They're immensely useful for grokking complex build code, as you said. https://github.com/facebook/starlark-rust/blob/main/docs/typ...

The Drúedain and the Dúnedain are distinct :) The Drúedain are the Púkel-men of the forest who help the Rohirrim navigate through the forest on their ride to Gondor and thereby byp…

https://reviews.llvm.org/D69294 is an interesting case we ran into with LLD (the LLVM linker), where the the memory pressure from mmap'ing a large output file combined with filesys…

Limited in what way? LLVM LTO works seamlessly if you use LLD on both macOS and Windows; that's what Chrome does, for example. LLVM LTO also works pretty seamlessly with ld64 on ma…

Disclaimer: I work at Facebook. Your thought process is completely fair, but just to clarify: Phabricator was never open-sourced by Facebook. The main engineer behind Phabricator (…

Not disagreeing with the rest, but LLD can link for Apple Silicon as well, and you could use Clang with zld as well if you wanted.

VS community edition is free (but not an option for commercial work). Another Clang-specific way to handle the case insensitivity is by making use of a virtual file system (VFS) ov…

I was curious about this bit from https://ziglang.org/download/0.8.0/release-notes.html#Self-H... , since I work on the new LLD for Mach-O backend: > Additionally, it is doubtful t…

clang-tidy has a struct padding check which diagnoses non-optimal struct orders, and a coworker contributed a clang tool to reorder fields: https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang-too…

LLD (the new linker from the LLVM project) actually does exactly this; by default, it creates a separate read-only segment, and you have to pass --no-rosegment explicitly if you do…

ARM supports the stack growing in either direction, but on Windows ARM it grows down. PE/COFF does have some architectural differences though; for example, the relocation types dif…
