For as long as I can remember, in C and C++ there existed this mantra that bounds checking had a huge performance impact. And that justified having none in std::vector and other containers, causing 40% of the memory bugs. Then the good people at Google went and did it and the performance impact was just 0.3%.

@chandlerc talks about that misconception here: https://chandlerc.blog/posts/2024/11/story-time-bounds-checking/

tl;dr: to only move commits 5 and 6, and skip 3 and 4, use git rebase 4 --onto main, read as "move commits from 4 to feature/bar onto main"

Git doctors don't want you to know this simple trick!

New blog post: why git rebase doesn't do what you think, and why git rebase --onto is what you actually wanted. https://lamaquinadeturing.su/en/2024/10/git-rebase-onto/

The answer is:

• C++: an infinite loop with no side effects is undefined behavior (an infinite loop with side effects is valid). The practical effect depends on the compiler, which may (-O0) or may not (-O3) keep the loop, but essentially it will build.

• Rust: this is a totally valid program and will just loop forever. Interestingly, an infinite loop can be assigned to the ! type.

I'm with Rust on this one, the fact that an infinite loop can be optimized away is crazy...

PS: yes, return is optional in the main function in C++... yes, it's in the standard

Quiz: do these programs compile? And in that case, what's their behavior?

Does anybody know of a nice, simple Bash emulator in JavaScript? I have this idea of adding a shell to a blog (for fun, really) and I found either very basic terminals/shell emulators (very, very basic, you can't even move the "cursor") or things like xterm.js, which is probably overkill and still it's just the frontend and has no she'll emulator.

So maybe I'll have to implement something?

A fairly advanced draft of the proposal is available, and it basically is a clone of Rust's concepts, using a new C++ borrow operator ^. I enjoyed reading it, being a C++ guy myself now working with Rust.

A few days ago the C++ Alliance announced a partnership with legendary Sean Baxter, author of the Circle language and compiler, to develop a proposal for a Rust-like borrow checker in C++
