Disk usage of the target directory is a commonly cited annoyance with Rust (and Cargo) – in the last year’s Annual Survey, it was the third most pressing issue of Rust users, right after slow compilation and subpar debugging experience. Given the “build everything from source” compilation model of Rust, and both debuginfo and incremental compilation being enabled by default in the dev Cargo profile, it is unlikely that the target directory will ever become lean and small. However, there are stil

Published for the first time: the Princeton INTERCAL Compiler's source code It is with great excitement that we share the original INTERCAL-72 compiler source code, as both scans and transcriptions (see below). INTERCAL was created by Don Woods (previously interviewed here) and Jim Lyon as undergrads at Princeton in an infamous late-night session after freshman finals in 1972. Don recently rediscovered a print-out, on green-barred, continuous-feed pages, of the SPITBOL source code for the origi

One of my more frequent rants, both online and in person, is the danger posed by the "fast-math" compiler flag. While these rants may elicit resigned acknowledgment from those who already understand the dangers involved, they do little to help those who don't. So given the remarkable paucity of writing on the topic (including the documentation of the compilers themselves), I decided it would make a good inaugural topic for this blog. It's a compiler flag or option that exists in many languages

OBNC OBNC is a compiler for Niklaus Wirth’s programming language Oberon. It implements the final version of the language from 2016. OBNC translates source code written in Oberon to the lower-level programming language C . The translated code is then compiled and linked using the C compiler and linker of the host operating system. The build command obnc performs all these tasks and keeps track of which files need to be compiled or recompiled. The compiler is released under the GNU General Publi

Debugging is often an undervalued skill. It’s not really taught in schools (as far as I know), instead, you kind of have to pick it up as you go along. Today, I’ll try to remedy that by looking at some common bugs and what to do about them. The default strategy I use with any bug is to: Try to find a way of reliably reproducing the bug so that I can break into the debugger when the bug happens and step through the code line by line to see how what it is doing differs from what I think it shoul

Even though it is rarely called that way, compiler reminders are a very useful feature in Elm, one that is core to making Elm code maintainable. The idea is that whenever a change in the code would lead to other code needing to be modified at the same time, we'd get a compiler error reminding us that we need to make some kind of change. We like this so much in Elm that a common task for beginners is to take the basic Elm counter example and add a button to reset the counter to 0. This usually

The RakuAST project was a rewrite and redesign of the compiler frontend, i.e. the part that parses the original source code, figures out what the different parts are, does checks and optimizations and creates a low level representation which will then be turned into bytecode by the backend. When I applied for the grant a lot of basic infrastructure was already in place. Many simple programs would already run, e.g. you could define variables, classes, functions, create objects, call methods and

A Guide to Undefined Behavior in C and C++, Part 1 Also see Part 2 and Part 3. Programming languages typically make a distinction between normal program actions and erroneous actions. For Turing-complete languages we cannot reliably decide offline whether a program has the potential to execute an error; we have to just run it and see. In a safe programming language, errors are trapped as they happen. Java, for example, is largely safe via its exception system. In an unsafe programming languag

YJIT can make Ruby code run faster, but this is a balancing act, because the JIT compiler itself must consume both memory and CPU cycles to compile and optimize your code while it is running. Furthermore, in large-scale production environments such as those of GitHub, Shopify and Stripe, we end up in a situation where YJIT is compiling the same code over and over again on a very large number of servers, which seems very inefficient. In this presentation, we will go over the design of ZJIT, a ne
