Rui Ueyama has submitted an article to arxiv on his mold linker. Impressive engineering. The codebase, especially the first versions are a great resource for learning about linkers.

I recommend https://eleshop.eu/jbc-bt-2bqa-soldering-station.html The handle is so light! Active tips! Heats up in 2 seconds. Goes to standby mode when you put away the handle to save the tips. There's even a lighter c

I'm still using Sourcetrail daily for inspecting C++ codebases. Works great. I paid for the first beta and was very sad that the company was not profitable. It really is a great product.

Rico Mariani gives his opinions on the future of system programming languages. His main point is that C++ with EH introduces too much bloat; that the opaque error handling combined with no compiler assisted checking hides bugs; and that you

Yes, providing good error message is a hard problem. Writing a parser that just bails out when it encounters and error is easy. Writing one that provides error messages that are useful to the user is a _lot_ more work. That's a dimensi

More context to that quote: >Per Vognsen discusses how to do course-grained error handling in C using setjmp/longjmp. The use case there were for arena allocations and deeply nested recursive parsers. It’s very similar to how C++ do

Can you make the distinction between "centralization" vs "composition" of errors? Do you mean the fact that there must be some if-statement within the API that reacts to the different errors and sets a flag used by the E
