My PhD thesis is on this topic, and I had an ASPLOS paper on handle based memory support in unmanaged languages (C/C++) through LLVM a few years ago: https://nickw.io/papers/asplos24-alaska.pdf

The overhead we saw there is suprisingly just from instruction and branch overhead from using software handles - I have ongoing work to do it in hardware and the overheads are much lower.

Same time next week?

I added type-based color printing to my hexdump in my kernel [1] if anyone wants to have that code. It was instrumental in finding bugs quickly in wee hours of the night sometimes, especially if you have heap corruption. ---- [1] https://github.com/ChariotOS/chariot/blob/e046849c668458d25e...

At the level that LLVM's LTO operates, no information about classes or objects is left, so LLVM itself can't really devirtualize C++ methods in most cases

?

It looks like threads.net is going to be a web version -- though it isn't very clear how useful it will be.

Lucky for them, it's a fully custom OS that doesn't follow the standard :)

Not long till can we have a GB of floppys on one table. Imagine!

Likely that it supports the Supervisor execution environment from the riscv spec [1]. This means it can run the typical ring 0 and ring 3 for kernelspace and userspace respectively, and importantly the board supports virtual memory.

From the article: "New York Public Radio's investment in Pocket Casts was made possible, in part, by Cynthia King Vance and a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York."

I don't think it was from donations, but I could be wrong

I think they mean to say "being bloated like an IDE is slow, here's how to not be slow because of bloat". Or at least thats what I got out of it

Do you rebind your caps lock to escape? That's what I did, and it's become second nature at this point.

"Joins" isn't in the thesaurus for "was bought by"

I actually usually have a general-use Makefile that I work from as a starting point [1]. It takes all c files from a src/ folder and builds their objects to build/ and then links them all in one go. No need for me to specify the files. It also works recursively.

I think that is quite possibly the best deal of all time.

Do you have to do anything special to load it all into the cache or is that just something that would happen by default?

Gotta love the fact that the EU seems to think the exact opposite

Was going to say that this was a joke about MacOS bugs, but then I opened the article. :P
