People occasionally ask why LLVM-compiled code sometimes generates SIGTRAP signals when the optimizer is turned on. After digging in, they find that Clang generated a "ud2" instruction (assuming X86 code) - the same as is generated by __builtin_trap().

Automating releases, semantic version bumps, and API calls often involves configuring branch permissions and storing long-lived credentials in pipeline variables. Managing credential rotation adds an ongoing maintenance burden. Today, we’re introducing granular step-level permissions and container tokens in Bitbucket…

Traditionally, software is produced in this way: write some code, maybe do some code review, run unit-tests, and then hope it is correct. Hard experience shows that it is very ...
LLVM has two new register allocators: Basic and Greedy. When LLVM 3.0 is released, the default optimizing register allocator will no longer be linear scan, but the new greedy register allocator.
Recently Slack on the desktop has been going through an awkward adolescence. Instead of flailing limbs and pitch squeaks, ours has manifested in ways rather more grim: inexplicably failing to render content, reloading during common operations, and error screens that aren’t actionable. The only silver lining has been…

The GCC 14 release series differs from previous GCC releases in a number of ways . Some of these are a result of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally changed to support new standards, or relaxed in standards-conforming ways to facilitate compilation or run-time performance.

From the Zed Blog: Delta is now in public beta. Replacing pull requests is our first step toward replacing GitHub.
One recent development is the ability to compile Java programs into self-contained native binaries. This provides more convenient single-file distributions, faster startup time, and lower memory footprint, at a cost of slower creation time and limitations around reflection and dynamic classloading. This article…
The first official GCC 13 release is just around the corner, and you may be a bit surprised to find out that gccrs will not be included in it. The aim of this blogpost is to go into a little bit more detail as to why this was done and how you can still try out our compiler if you’d like to.
