And how do those C compilers get built?

You can compile the official rust compiler and cargo already today and just fine with GCC (via m...

[oleid]

Really? I'm using it via CLion. But now that you say it... I think CLion comes with it's own set of renderers, for both gdb and lldb. Read that somewhere...

[oleid]

Lldb works fine, too.

But even a debugger doesn't always help. I've seen bugs with dangling references at work where even a debug build just...

[oleid]

Oh come on. That's not true and you know it. You must forbid to use references as well. And then it's hard to do things in C++. Read this:

...

[oleid]

You cannot dereference a bare pointer in _safe_ rust. (Which is, what you get by default). Of course you can use an unsafe {} block, which tells the compiler:...

[oleid]

You should have a look at assembler. Even more control at your finger tips ...

[oleid]

Except it is not. Granted, c++20 is a huge step into the right direction and I'm looking forward to the day when I can use it at work. And c++'s template...

[oleid]

But it is....

[oleid]

Pssst. You know that can't be true, cuz all the cool l33d kiz install vlc and don't use totem ...

[oleid]

Why would they?...

[oleid]

No, but there is an ongoing effort to add an gcc backend to the rust compiler. So once that landed, you can use that instead of something llvm backed....

[oleid]

It is. I don't know libmpv (only mpv), so I don't comment here.

A few points, which are pro gstreamer:

• Compared to ffmpeg, I personally

...

[oleid]

Well, is that gstreamer's fault or totem's fault?

Even KDE can use gstreamer as sound backend.

We use gstreamer at work to read...

[oleid]

Maybe the interpreter should be statistically linked and the rest use a dynamic version of libpython?...

[oleid]

This is not about statically linking libpython to python scripts, it's about statically linking libpython to the python executable - the interpreter itself....

[oleid]

One needs to mention, that despite basic async/await stuff is now stable, edges are still rough. For once, error messages can be quite strange. That will...

[oleid]

So it begins.

[oleid]

Why, it's the fastest and safest. If you're only looking for the fastest... well...

[oleid]

Does it? Wouldn't zink have to be gallium over vulkan in order to support gallium nine?

Edit : you're right, the initial blog...

What does a file menu have to do with CSD?...
