00:00 bnchs__; ok what about 20dh (2GB)

00:01 psydroid8; even that is not that much, but if you stick with text-based stuff, you can probably manage

00:09 psydroid8; here I don't have a mobile subscription

00:11 bnchs__; good night

00:11 *bnchs__ has quit (Quit: Leaving)

11:58 DaemonFC; California's department of health released a study that showed that people who wear "a mask" were about 60% less likely to have tested positive for COVID in the past year as people who never wear one.

11:59 DaemonFC; And they said that people who reported that they use a N95 or KN95 respirator were 83% less likely to report having tested positive within the last year.


noon, February 6

12:00 DaemonFC; When you break it down by mask type, cloth masks are the least effective, although still worth using if that's all you can afford or get access to. Surgical masks and N95s are much better.

12:00 DaemonFC; Well, respirators being highly effective is not surprising.

12:00 DaemonFC; They cost about a buck each now and you just swap them for a new one every week or two.

12:01 DaemonFC; As vaccines go, COVID's is extremely disappointing.

12:02 DaemonFC; The Meningitis vaccines only hold up for about 6 years or so, but even then it's enough to get people out of a high risk period of life, such as living in a college dorm or being young and having multiple sex partners, or doing a couple of stints in the military.

12:03 DaemonFC; But they still talk of fourth and fifth doses and it's not even a year old yet.

12:04 DaemonFC; They've turned off most of the public drinking fountains, except for the bottle filler, which nobody puts their mouth up against and has saliva dripping all over.

12:05 DaemonFC; They're wondering where the flu and Meningitis went off to...

12:05 DaemonFC; :)

12:06 DaemonFC; The FDA is funny.

12:07 DaemonFC; Like, they've recalled bagged salads about a million times in the last year or so.

12:07 DaemonFC; Hepatitis, Listeria, E. Coli....

12:07 DaemonFC; There's no label on the salads saying "Hey, don't eat this. You'll be shitting your guts out all the way to the ER!".

12:08 DaemonFC; But they require a warning on unpasteurized orange juice and kombucha.

12:08 DaemonFC; Which I drink all the time and I've never gotten sick from.

12:09 DaemonFC; The pasteurization process on orange juice has about one benefit. The companies that make it can put it on the shelf for months and months as long as you don't open it.

12:10 DaemonFC; The downside is that the heat totally ruins the flavor and nutritional value, and then they fortify it with vitamins and "flavor packages" and it's basically sugar water that escaped the lab at that point.

12:10 DaemonFC; But they put millions in advertising showing a straw in an orange so people associate it with natural and healthy and wholesome.

13:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Even the dental school is trying to sell expensive dental whitening products now.

13:29 DaemonFC; They asked if I wanted to pay $150 for a whitening. I said, "Well, the level of whiteness doesn't really affect the health of the tooth. It's just a vanity thing. So no.".

13:30 DaemonFC; Obsession with whiteness. Like everyone who isn't white. And how white is white enough?

13:30 DaemonFC; $600 a year to keep your teeth whiter, why not?

13:30 DaemonFC; It's not like you need money.

13:31 DaemonFC; It's not like the car will break down and need repairs. It's not like you need to pay the rent.

13:32 DaemonFC; My teeth are actually really really healthy except for a few fillings I got a really long time ago when I was much less concerned. I mean, as a teenager I was both depressed a lot and had no idea what things like dental work could end up costing.

13:32 DaemonFC; So I wasn't brushing often enough, even. But after getting some fillings I decided that this was adding up faster and it would be something way worse sooner or later.

13:33 DaemonFC; So since about 16 years ago, I haven't needed a single new filling and there's been no significant further decay.

13:35 DaemonFC; I did laugh when I found out my toothbrush has bluetooth and a phone app.

19:25 DaemonFC; Apple doesn't approve apps if they "duplicate something the phone already has" even if the iOS app is clunky and doesn't have as many features.

19:26 *inky (~inky@188.115.245.22) has joined #techrights

19:26 DaemonFC; So if they include a Web browser that's not great, you can't compete with them.

19:27 DaemonFC; If your calculator has a better scientific mode, they bounce it back.

19:27 DaemonFC; Users would be "confused" about having two entire apps that can perform math calculations.

19:28 DaemonFC; So, software for iOS tends to be shitty and not appropriate if you need special features that don't work for the mass market.

19:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Part of the pushback against the American healthcare system now is at-home diagnostic tests.

19:29 DaemonFC; All the rage lately.

19:30 DaemonFC; A lab bill for a comprehensive STD panel, for example, can be over $800, but you can order one online you do at home that checks for all of the important ones for $149, and they'll give a 10% discount if you set it to order them twice a year.

19:30 DaemonFC; A doctor visit for PrEP costs hundreds of dollars plus the labs, but there's now apps where the visits are free even without insurance, a doctor robosigns prescriptions, and you do the labs on yourself at home.

19:31 DaemonFC; I don't know exactly how that works because the apps are new and didn't exist when I was on PrEP.

19:31 DaemonFC; I mean, it would be good if people are getting it, but I'd like to know how the app company and the doctors are being paid.

19:31 MinceR; pascal is painful in the real world

19:32 DaemonFC; I might fire off an email to them telling them I'm going to run a story about them and I'd like them to comment about how their app is free and where they get money from.

19:32 MinceR; iirc variable length strings were something that didn't occur to the people who standardized the language

19:32 MinceR; varargs are for standard library only

19:32 MinceR; in object pascal, destructors don't get called automatically

19:33 MinceR; the whole language tends to come with a lot of extra verbosity and restrictions

19:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Something just rubs me the wrong way about Mistr.

19:36 MinceR; Little Misters

19:36 DaemonFC; Because no "free" of charge app lets you see a doctor, calls in prescriptions, and does free labs.

19:37 DaemonFC; Those things all cost a lot of money, so someone is paying them.

19:38 DaemonFC; It makes more sense for most people to check themselves for STDs vs. doing it in a doctor's office.

19:38 DaemonFC; But when your doctor is managing your PrEP case, they write lab orders every few months and won't renew your PrEP without current labs.

19:38 DaemonFC; So there's a lot of cost here, even though one of the medications is generic and fairly cheap now.

19:39 DaemonFC; You still have to pay the doctor and the labs, and without insurance that can work out to several thousand dollars a year.

19:39 DaemonFC; So I'm skeptical of "Mistr".

19:41 DaemonFC; My guess is that either the drug companies are paying for this somehow, in which case I doubt they'd prescribe you generic PrEP medication, or they are selling your data and the value is in getting your signature on a form that waives your rights under HIPAA.

19:41 DaemonFC; Or both.

21:02 DaemonFC; <MinceR> pascal is painful in the real world

21:03 DaemonFC; Borland's was popular many years ago.

21:03 DaemonFC; TurboPascal

21:03 activelow; however, if this was Red hat, as they officially presented themselves in their developer channel, i'll not look back anymore

21:03 DaemonFC; There is some software under the GNU GPL that depended on non-Free Borland software.

21:04 DaemonFC; Calmira II for Windows was under the GPL, but you can't compile it without Borland Delphi, and it won't run without the redistributable Borland runtime code.

21:05 MinceR; i know

21:05 MinceR; and yet it was still painful

21:05 DaemonFC; I'm pretty sure I saw a lot of other stuff on "freeware" CDs in the 90s like this.

21:06 XRevan86; Delphi was very popular in Russia.

21:06 DaemonFC; I wrote to the publisher of "Galaxy of Games" when I was like 12 or so.

21:06 DaemonFC; I asked them for the source code to "Windows Adventure" since it said it was under the GNU GPL and you could get source code from the distributor.

21:06 DaemonFC; They never wrote back.

21:06 DaemonFC; Galaxy of Games has been dumped into ISO files and placed on the Internet Archive.

21:07 DaemonFC; So the Internet Archive is violating the license now too.

21:08 DaemonFC; It would be difficult for the publisher of the CDs to assert that the compilation gives them special copyrights. Literally all they did was find a bunch of junk on BBS systems and the Web and burn it to CD and sell a bunch of them at department stores.

21:08 DaemonFC; In most cases this was fine because it's exactly what the author of the program intended for them to do, but occasionally you'd run into Free Software and no way to get the source code.

21:09 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> Delphi was very popular in Russia.

21:09 DaemonFC; It's still a thing.

21:09 DaemonFC; Some company called Codegear now, I think.

21:09 DaemonFC; I wonder if anyone has made a Free Delphi.

21:10 XRevan86; CodeGear is a subsidiary of Embarcadero, which is a subsidiary of Idera

21:10 DaemonFC; I can see why Calmira II uses it.

21:10 XRevan86; The CodeGear brand is not really used since the acquisition by Embarcadero.

21:11 DaemonFC; It's really just a clever hack on Windows 3.1/3.11 that acts as a user shell.

21:11 DaemonFC; It operates as closely as you can under Windows 3.1x to Windows 95.

21:11 XRevan86; "I wonder if anyone has made a Free Delphi." <- *cough cough* Lazarus *cough cough*

21:11 DaemonFC; There were a lot of people who tried to improve Windows. And succeeded.

21:12 DaemonFC; But many got letters from Microsoft threatening to sue.

21:12 MinceR; delphi was also inexplicably popular here in hungary

21:12 XRevan86; Double Commander manages to look&feel like a Win32 programme under any environment.

21:12 XRevan86; Courtesy of Lazarus.

21:12 DaemonFC; Microsoft wasn't happy about Internet Explorer removal tools, especially the ones that turned all of the junk that nobody wanted into optional components.

21:14 DaemonFC; One of the reasons Microsoft did Service Packs for Windows XP was because one would occasionally come along and if you tried to install it on a custom image of XP, it would hose the operating system.

21:14 DaemonFC; So you had to make a new ISO, integrate the service pack, and then use an updated copy of nLite to remove stuff from that, and then clean install Windows XP again.

21:15 DaemonFC; They realized that they had nothing in court with which to threaten these people with, but they could get the user to expect a broken OS that they'd have to reinstall if they used those tools.

21:16 XRevan86; Fun fact: Embarcadero RAD Studio now uses Clang, they just deprecated bcc.

21:17 DaemonFC; "Linux" is so revolutionary that most of the OS is optional and you won't break it if you don't use those parts and want to cut down on bloat.

21:19 DaemonFC; There's another big expansion mod for Fallout: New Vegas.

21:20 DaemonFC; It's kind of funny that the expansions to this game are both freeware and better than anything coming out of Microsoft Bethesda and their rapist in the music department.

21:21 XRevan86; MinceR: Condolences I guess, but it's all in the past. Could've been worse, could've been Microsoft.

21:21 DaemonFC; I don't get the whole "rape" thing. Like, I hear it's about power and control, but then you get found out and you lose control of your life. Like, you get fired, or go to prison.

21:22 DaemonFC; What part of losing control over your life and getting raped in prison puts you in control of your life?

21:22 XRevan86; MinceR: Or, even worse, the GCC cabal :).

21:23 DaemonFC; In August 2019, Soule was accused of rape by game designer Nathalie Lawhead.[37][38][39][40] He was also accused of sexual harassment by vocalist Aeralie Brighton.[41][42][43] He denied the accusations, with no charges being filed.[41] Materia Collective ended their work with Soule on his symphony The Northerner in response, and Soule's official social media pages were taken down.[44][45][46] Soule's music distribution platform DirectSong was

21:23 DaemonFC; also seemingly taken offline around this time.[1]

21:23 DaemonFC; No mention on wikipedia if he's still employed at Microsoft.

21:23 DaemonFC; Is he?

21:23 DaemonFC; Whether he is or isn't, I find it incredibly disturbing that he was not charged with any crimes.

21:24 DaemonFC; That even if nobody wants to go near him now, he's sitting on a pile of copyright royalties that continue pouring in, and no doubt investment income as well.

21:25 DaemonFC; And we all know how copyright _can_ work. Even if nobody will publish him under his own name, he could use a pseudonym that isn't associated with rape, and continue to profit.

21:25 DaemonFC; Criminals figure out how to go on dodging the police and courts or subverting the intent of their punishment.

21:26 DaemonFC; And that's what Soule is. He is an unindicted criminal.

21:26 DaemonFC; Microsoft was already overflowing with those.

22:15 DaemonFC; The Russell 2000 is an outright scam full of companies that will never make money, and are valued as if they do or if it's even possible.

22:16 DaemonFC; I invest in stocks, but none of them are small and mid cap stocks.

22:16 DaemonFC; Over the past 10 years or so, they have failed to outperform the large caps by all that much and there's a hell of a lot more risk, and who needs it.

22:38 TR Bot; A Russian invasion of Ukraine could lead to mass causalities, officials say : NPR

22:38 DaemonFC; It's possible that the reason 10,000 US troops are in Poland is to prevent anyone from escaping Ukraine during the invasion.

22:39 DaemonFC; 10,000 US troops isn't enough to turn the tide of an invasion with 175,000 enemy troops.

22:39 DaemonFC; But it is enough to guard the border of NATO countries and prevent refugees from getting over them.

22:40 DaemonFC; "My mom doesn't believe in vaccines, and when I found out about the "Backfire Effect" in psychiatry, it became apparent that trying to convince her otherwise was just causing her to dig in because of this effect.

22:46 DaemonFC; And when he couldn't get the doors to open to help Chell escape the Extended Relaxation Center, he just used her cubical room as a battering ram and broke down the door.

22:47 *inky_ (~inky@46.36.118.112) has joined #techrights

22:47 MinceR; there was probably a better solution for that

22:47 DaemonFC; And he turned GlaDOS into a non-threat (by all rights) by plugging her into a potato battery so that she wouldn't have her consciousness terminated, but she couldn't do anything.

22:48 DaemonFC; <MinceR> there was probably a better solution for that

22:48 DaemonFC; There didn't need to be any better solution for that.

22:48 DaemonFC; All of the other test subjects were dead, all of the scientists were murdered by GlaDOS possibly hundreds of years ago, and he was trying to help Chell escape.

22:49 MinceR; and he risked Chell's life instead of figuring out a sane method

22:49 DaemonFC; That was expedient and damage to the facility obviously doesn't matter anymore.

22:49 DaemonFC; He did tell her to hold onto something.

22:50 DaemonFC; So, I mean, he's of at least average intelligence, maybe a little better.

22:51 MinceR; that's possible

22:51 MinceR; considering how blisteringly stupid the average human is

22:51 DaemonFC; When he took over the control chair, he wasn't smart enough to design good test chambers, so he started smashing together ones that GlaDOS was in the process of designing, and he accidentally created a new model of weighted companion cube that was half turret that crawled around whining in pain.

22:52 DaemonFC; And he couldn't stop the reactor from failing, so he silenced the alarm and told Chell to keep testing.

22:52 DaemonFC; All signs point to Wheatley having an IQ of about 100-110.

22:53 DaemonFC; The control chair made him worse because it compelled him to have no other priority except testing people. GlaDOS essentially explained that forcing people to test and then watching them complete a test was rewarded by the control chair with something like an orgasm.

22:53 DaemonFC; While if they didn't test, it caused pain.

22:54 DaemonFC; So, the control chair was at least partially responsible for making Wheatley so stupid, because he literally could not think about anything but testing at that point, on top of only having an average IQ to begin with.

22:55 DaemonFC; GlaDOS was also in a much better mood, and much nicer, while she was in the potato battery.

22:56 DaemonFC; That's what made the comedy work so well, with Wheatley. Once he was in the chair he wasn't just an idiot (compared with GlaDOS), but he was a megalomaniac with real power, and the ability to truly fuck something up.

22:56 DaemonFC; It's like after Trump became the President.

23:00 DaemonFC; MinceR, Google misunderstood me when I asked what life was like in 1960 and told me about 1900 instead.

23:00 DaemonFC; It said that most households got by on $3,000 in today's dollars, and didn't have a car, electricity, or indoor plumbing.

23:01 DaemonFC; Of course that's a pretty hard life. And conservatives point to things like this instead of acknowledging that things have improved, _but_ there still is the widest gap ever between the rich and the poor.

23:01 DaemonFC; The government makes life harder though.

23:01 DaemonFC; When mom lived with Gonad the Barbarian, he had a second lot with another house on it.

23:01 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights

23:02 DaemonFC; Nobody had lived in the house in MANY decades, and he was using it as a garage. It had no plumbing, it had no electricity, it was in very bad condition.

23:03 DaemonFC; The property tax department of the county sent him out a bill saying they appraised it at $96,000 in value and that's what they were basing his taxes on to have a second lot with a junk house that nobody could possibly improve and live in.

23:03 DaemonFC; They assess based on what they want to spend, not what the place is actually worth.

23:04 DaemonFC; So the tax bill's "valuation" is a fantasy document they use to get the amount of tax they want out of you. You couldn't ever sell it for that.

23:04 *psydroid4 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

23:18 XRevan86; activelow: Who's the vendor? ISO?

23:18 activelow; very good question, who was responsible

23:18 activelow; furthemore, besides kernel, other components are affected

23:18 activelow; including GCC

23:18 MinceR; sounds more like language lock

23:18 XRevan86; Also "indirectly" means that one is more than welcome to make a competing compiler written in Pascal or whatever, if one is up to the challenge.

23:19 activelow; the language issue is the method, the result is vendor-lock

23:19 MinceR; ironically, to a language that is better suited for large projects and hated by Torvalds

23:19 activelow; however, i do not known whom i should rant at

23:19 activelow; the language was the utility to lock into specific compiler-vendors and versions, otherwise c++ does not belong into base system components

23:19 XRevan86; activelow: It was probably Satan himself, try writing him an angry letter.

23:19 activelow; and this was the status for a very long time

23:21 XRevan86; GCC is a very good compiler, so I'm assuming that the decision they've made was beneficial to them.

23:21 activelow; XRevan86: which version are you referring to?

23:21 XRevan86; activelow: ~6+

23:21 activelow; then go for it, i won't

23:22 activelow; howevery, linux kernel and u-boot prevent me from dropping it; removed c++ from userspace already to compile this with tcc at least

23:22 activelow; and downgraded to gcc-4.7 otherwise, and will downgrade this further

23:22 XRevan86; "the language was the utility to lock into specific compiler-vendors and versions" <- There's circular logic here.

23:22 activelow; it isn't

23:23 XRevan86; How is the language a lock utility, if only the compiler itself is written in it?

23:23 activelow; and the chosen language (c++) wasn't the only method, besides various extensions and introduction/utilization C11 standard features (to name one, _generic macro which is ludicrous)

23:23 XRevan86; GCC could've been written in its own GccLang and it wouldn't've made a darn difference.

23:24 activelow; because, if anything is written in a particular language with specific language features, then a compiler of a specific version is required, and all else are excluded

23:24 XRevan86; So C is bad?

23:24 activelow; which C variant? which compiler? short answer: C99 was broadly compatible, as far as the language and compiler support was concerned, _was_, that's past.

23:25 *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights

23:25 XRevan86; Why not C89? That thing was dirt-simple.

23:25 XRevan86; C99 only brought sophistication and complexity to the mix.

23:26 XRevan86; (and some reasonable deprecations)

23:26 activelow; good question, linux kernel was relatively conservative with this, although i may be in error here

23:26 XRevan86; activelow: So why not go deeper? Just because TinyCC stopped at C99?

23:26 activelow; recently i stumbled upon C11 _generic inside kernel, have fun, i'll not comment on this anymore

23:26 activelow; XRevan86: tinycc did NOT stop at C99, it too implemented gnu extensions and some C11 (just citing here, haven't got a full overview)

23:27 activelow; all i know, tinycc cannot compile GCC anymore (because gcc is written in c++ since v4.8), and the battle at the kernel frontline is almost entirely lost too already (last verification was kernel-4.6 for x86_64)

23:27 XRevan86; Wouldn't be surprised if before that Linux used a GCC extension to achieve compile-time expression control.

23:28 XRevan86; Why does GCC need to be compiled by TinyCC?

23:29 activelow; it doesn't. what's necessary is a clean bootstrap procedure for gcc, and tcc cannot accomplish this anymore with recent GCC versions

23:29 XRevan86; A clean bootstrap procedure starts with a pre-built TinyCC binary.

23:30 XRevan86; When it's a pre-built GCC binary, it's tainted then. Thanks, Satan.

23:32 activelow; tinycc won't be helpful anymore, because gcc is written in c++

23:32 *XRevan86 feels like his very simple point got ignored.

23:33 schestowitz-TR; :)

23:33 XRevan86; activelow: Who's going to build mr. helpful tinycc?

23:33 psydroid8; we'll have to go back to very basic manually constructed assembler, linker and compiler binaries

23:34 psydroid8; to make Mr. Thompson proud

23:34 activelow; this is what tinycc accomplished partially, however, try for yourself, to compile any recent gcc or linux kernel or u-boot loader with it

23:34 XRevan86; schestowitz: We have an actual package maintainer who is involved in some fairly low-level stuff in here. I hope she doesn't see all this preschool stuff.

23:35 activelow; good luck; and if it wasn't tcc, then i welcome any suggestions

23:35 psydroid8; magister in excelsis

23:35 XRevan86; activelow: Accomplished what?

23:36 activelow; tinycc was/still is this: tiny; even if you didn't trust the binary, there was a chance remaining to disassemble this

23:37 XRevan86; activelow: Do ye know how GCC is built in real life? 1. take a pre-existing built GCC; 2. build GCC with it; 3. build GCC with the previous build for reproducibility.

23:37 XRevan86; Do ye know how TinyCC is built in real life? 1. take GCC; 2. build TinyCC with GCC.

23:37 activelow; the bootstrapping procedure which GNU guix documented for gcc-2.7 (2.8, not sure anymore), relied upon on a binary bundle of dozens of megs;

23:37 activelow; i wouldn't want to ever consider disassembling this, leave alone any recent toolchain bundle

23:37 XRevan86; But if distributions actually used TinyCC as a primary compiler, it would've been built like GCC is built.

23:39 XRevan86; activelow: I don't think ye understand: TinyCC is written in a high-level language too.

23:39 activelow; besides the bootstrapping question. tinycc itself has very desireable qualities: compilation of itself and compiling anyting else with it is very fast, roughly 10x faster, far closer to the "sweet spot", of the trad-off between compile-time/optimization and run-time performance

23:39 XRevan86; activelow: Your bootstrapping argument is invalid.

23:39 activelow; XRevan86: i know, however i doubt anyone on earth could implement a compiler written in ASM which could compile anything relevant to GNU/Linux etc.

23:44 activelow; XRevan86: which "additional steps"?

23:44 XRevan86; activelow: Suppose the distribution stashes the previous version of the compiler to build the next one, with TinyCC added to the mix it would be one more package added to the base system for no additional benefit.

23:45 activelow; agreed. however, i do not trust any of the "previous versions" neither

23:45 activelow; besides, tcc is fast, very fast

23:46 XRevan86; The compilation is 3-stage in order to get the latest version built with the latest version.

23:46 MinceR; you could try bootstrapping an older GCC with TCC, then bootstrapping a newer GCC with that GCC (possibly with more versions of GCC in between)

23:46 activelow; already did

23:47 activelow; however, linux kernel is a show-stopper here

23:47 XRevan86; MinceR: Won't do any good, when C++ is introduced, Satan curses the compiler.

23:48 psydroid8; Satan is the Big Compiler

23:48 activelow; i cannot downgrade to kernel-2.4 or kernel-4.6, because of vendor-locks on the hardware side; besides even those kernel versions require extensive review and patching for aarch32 or anything those could support

23:48 activelow; alot of effort, with a high chance of total failure

23:48 MinceR; you could use a new GCC bootstrapped via TCC (and possibly older GCC versions) to compile the kernel

23:49 activelow; yes, but i don't want to, because tcc can compile linux kernel in ~10s, gcc requires 30minutes to accomplish the same

23:49 XRevan86; activelow: "a lot of effort, with a high chance of total failure" <- Hasn't stopped you before.

23:49 MinceR; doesn't GCC result in a kernel binary that runs faster though?

23:49 XRevan86; activelow: And the metric is that 2018 video with a stripped down kernel?

23:50 activelow; MinceR: good question. there is a trade-off again: compile-time and run-time performance

23:50 XRevan86; MinceR: That's not a question, that's an accurate statement.

23:50 activelow; besides, runtime-performance isn't the only criteria; if a stable and reliable and *fast* compiler outweighs some other criteria, such as a minor runtime performance boost

23:50 XRevan86; MinceR: I measured TinyCC performance when activelow only started mentioning it.

23:51 XRevan86; It's as bad as one can imagine.

23:51 XRevan86; -O0 the compiler

23:51 XRevan86; "good question" <- activelow has forgotten then.

23:51 activelow; yet, tcc can optimize slightly, and is ~10x faster compile-time, besides other potential benefits

23:51 XRevan86; "minor" <- no.

23:52 XRevan86; activelow: Try to disable any optimisations that GCC has and then measure compile-time.

23:54 activelow; well, hardfloat can make a huge difference, in comparison to both software floating point, and softfp which add some overhead; insofar i am not too pessimistic about runtime performance here

23:54 psydroid8; What are the pros and cons of using C++ to write a compiler instead of C?

23:55 XRevan86; activelow: I was comparing on x86 regardless.

23:55 MinceR; namespaces (and eventually modules) make larger codebases more manageable, STL allows for less painful management of data

23:55 activelow; psydroid8: better to ask, what are the pros and cons of using C++ to write a C-compiler instead of C?

23:55 MinceR; strings, STL and smart pointers help avoid security issues

23:56 activelow; tcc implemented some bounds-checker, i'll skip this initially

23:56 activelow; furthermore, if a compiler consists of ~30K LoC, such a project should remain rather manageable, by the nature of it

23:59 XRevan86; https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2010-05/msg00705.html Here's the initial accouncement, but it doesn't actually talk about what they found important in C++.

23:59 TR Bot; Mark Mitchell - Using C++ in GCC is OK
