If you're doing a lot of work in C/C++/Rust consider using sccache to cache compilations. It's easy to set up and will save you a lot of time and a huge amount of power.

https://github.com/mozilla/sccache

As an example this is just a couple of hours of work on Firefox, it saved me from re-running the compiler almost 90% of the time.

I keep looking at rust and thinking "Gods it seems to be an awesome language"... Then I read and hear about a lot of hassels moving from C or C++ to rust and never really any massive success stories... are the massive success stories out there? #rustlang #development

@looopTools I am 100% pro #cplusplus and against the hype around #rust, but be fair, Rust has quite some success. Take e.g. #signalapp, which is written in Rust. #Firefox is going to be rewritten in it. In the command line world there are many useful and performant tools like ripgrep which are better than what we had before.

@looopTools #Firefox is a massive success story for Rust. After multiple attempts to write a multi threaded style engine in C++, and getting completely destroyed by data races on each attempt, #Mozilla funded Rust #development, and then used it to write a high performance multi threaded styling engine (#Stylo) with no crashes or data races on basically the first attempt.

Crashing MSVC is too mainstream. Cool kids crash clang

I just heard the bad news that I am probably going to need a new job starting in July.

So, before beginning the regular search, I wanted to ask my Fedi friends if anyone could use a capable C++ programmer with lots of graphics and networking experience. I wouldn't mind a change, so I'm open to anything. Even other programming languages! It would be awesome if I could use Linux to do the work. 🐧

Locations I would consider are: Central Europe, Melbourne, Sydney or Remote

🔁 Boost appreciated! 🙏

This is a 48 minute long article that's critical of the Rust hype train vs C/C++. The TLDR is that while security is a problem, the Rust vs C choice as the only choice for low-level systems programming is a “non choice”. The author states that Go is a perfectly fine choice. https://medium.com/

C++ will be taken over by .

What will be the Rust-equivalent for ?

I mean is a very good first step, but it's basically the C++ for C.

So in short:
C => C++
JavaScript ≈> TypeScript
C++ =>
JavaScript => ???

I think it will be a looong way to go, but maybe, maybe we'll see more and more in the , but not quite sure yet.

When working with exceptions in C++, there are three main levels of guarantees a function can provide when an exception is thrown.

I've released a clang tidy for C/C++ that finds division by non-constant values to help you search for possible division-by-zero in your codebase!
This is mostly a tool I built for myself to help with LMOD development but others might find it useful too

The Code Llama 34b model isn't half bad! Been toying around with it integrated into clion having it explain my own code to me and generate small functions and it's been so far around 90% successful, with most of the errors being minor, the bug detection does have a decent amount of false positives though. I also like that it's aware enough of api's to give doc links

Bonus points for it going off on a tangent once on why console applications are better than gui.
