Pinboard: bookmarks for rcrowley tagged 'c'

Intel's C/C++ extensions that allow compilers to introduce parallelism in an automatic and safe way. These are syntax, not libraries. The hyperobjects remind me of something between software transactional memory and Dynamo-style conflict resolution.

Lessons I should have learned, Episode 3: Hot swapping binaries « NathanWiegand.com

Zero-downtime upgrades of binaries. I suppose that should be qualified with something about the length of the network buffer in case the new binary takes any non-negligible amount of time to get back to accepting connections.

Performance Retrospective in PEP 3146 -- Merging Unladen Swallow into CPython

A professor once gave me props for tasteful use of C++ when implementing a UNIX shell. C++ is a big hammer so you have to be very careful what you hit. So long as the committers/managers of the CPython tree have taste in using the C++ hammer, I think the overall effect will be positive.
