LLVM 8.0.0 released Version 8.0.0 of the LLVM compiler suite is out. " It's the result of the LLVM
community's work over the past six months, including: speculative load
hardening, concurrent compilation in the ORC JIT API, no longer
experimental WebAssembly target, a Clang option to initialize
automatic variables, improved pre-compiled header support in clang-cl,
the /Zc:dllexportInlines- flag, RISC-V support in lld." For details one can see separate release notes for LLVM, Clang, Extra
Clang Tools, lld, and libc++. | | 2:46p |

[$] Layers and abstractions
In software, we tend to build abstraction layers. But, at times, those
layers get in the way, so we squash them. In a talk at SCALE 17x in
Pasadena, CA, Kyle Anderson surveyed some of the layers that we have
built and squashed along the way. He also looked at some of the layers
that are being created today with an eye toward where, how, and why they might
get squashed moving forward. |
