C++ safety, in context

Sutter's Mill

To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. When I say “safety” unqualified here, I mean programming language safety, which benefits both software security and software safety. Acknowledgments. Let’s dig in.

Podcast interview: Rust and C++

Sutter's Mill

Disclaimer: Please just ignore the “vs” part of the “Rust vs C++” title. Rust, while newer, is gaining traction in roles that demand safety and concurrency, particularly in systems programming. Herb works at Microsoft and chairs the ISO C++ standards committee.

Can Language Models Replace Compilers?

O'Reilly

Python is an interpreted language, so there’s no machine code, but there’s no reason this loop couldn’t incorporate a C or C++ compiler. To people who programmed using circuit diagrams and switches, these early languages looked as radical as programming with generative AI looks today.

What programming languages does HammerDB use and why does it matter?

HammerDB

This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset. For HammerDB both TPROC-C and TPROC-H run all of their workloads on the database being tested in SQL. The following is an example from TPROC-C from SQL Server. Database interfaces in C. and the following from TPROC-H. select top 100.

Windows Timer Resolution: The Great Rule Change

Randon ASCII

First, a bit of operating-system design context. It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping?

Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

We were able to meaningfully improve both the predictability and performance of these containers by taking some of the CPU isolation responsibility away from the operating system and moving towards a data driven solution involving combinatorial optimization and machine learning.
