David Sankel :: The Semicolon is a Lie

Показать описание

Presented by David Sankel at Core C++ 2023 conference.

This is a talk about how hardware manufacturers, language designers, and API writers have twisted developer expectations in a never-ending quest for higher performance. We'll cover instruction pipelining, compiler reordering, and speculative compiler optimizations. You should walk away from this talk with a greater appreciation for how these crazy machines called computers work, and a view of how programming will evolve in the coming years.
