My computer is in the shop for the next month. I had to find other things to do. So: a custom Bluetooth 3D Printed GC Controller! My best build yet. Made from an 8BitDo Bluetooth board, Bibben removable gate front, Olympia backshell, HandHeld Legends btns and Rienne Customs springs. #3dprint #gcc

Today's bug is a `gcc` SIGSEGV: https://gcc.gnu.org/PR119226.

There `gcc` started crashing on certain uses of `strcspn()`. `vifm-0.14` happened to be one example of that.

OK, calling #gcc experts...

Is there a way to declare a function such that an argument has an attribute that restricts usage as follows.

The arg must not be a variable - so what? not an lvalue?

Why?

I have pointers to stuff that has too be freed.

I want to absolutely ensure no reuse of pointer after call (actually there is an attribute for that?).

So call with a pointer that is return from function, OK.

But call with variable you could reuse later, not OK.

Anyone here familiar with SPARC binutils internals? I'm having a rather odd case where the same instruction (and same binary sequence) gets interpreted differently depending on who compiles it

Say, I have this `decode.s` file containing the following line:
decode: addxccc %g0, %g0, %g0

One VIS3 instruction, very simple. Then assemble it with both gcc and clang:
gcc -mcpu=niagara4 -c decode.s -o decode-gcc.o
clang -mcpu=niagara4 -c decode.s -o decode-clang.o

And now, if I run objdump on the files, the results are different:
decode-clang.o: file format elf64-sparc

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <decode>:
0: 81 b0 02 60 unknown

Compare with GCC's:
decode-gcc.o: file format elf64-sparc

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <decode>:
0: 81 b0 02 60 addxccc %g0, %g0, %g0

In both cases the binary stream is the same, but why does objdump decodes it as "unknown" with the clang-built file?

“The exact chain of command involved was unclear.”

Meaning: foreign adversaries are the chain of command.

gotta reward the foreign oligarchs for stealing money from their people so #Trump, #Musk, #Russia, the #GCC, and the other funders can rob us.

Upgrading emacs-plus to 30.1 and getting gcc/libgccjit errors? I did too! But I think I fixed it easily enough: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/issues/790

#Trump and #Musk will lead to the fall of the house of #Saud. For each of us you kill, ten of us will return to vanquish you. We see you #GCC. We are coming for you. You cannot escape now. Your evil has sown the seeds of your own demise.

“Some people close to Trump’s White House have been taken aback by the scale of security that has surrounded Musk since he became a regular presence in Trump’s orbit last year. The detail rivaled only that of the president himself, the sources observed.”

No surprise the #GCC ( #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Oman, #Qatar, #Bahrain & #Kuwait) + #China and #Russia (GCC henchman #Putin & #Xi), are overdoing mercenaries to protect their largest investment, their top #Saudi henchman.

Use “Saudi henchmen” before #Musk and #Trump to indicate allegiance:
