Probably some RISC-V stuff, but hopefully other things too ;)

Linaro’s Toolchain team is one of the leading contributors to support in projects. In this blog we look at a year's worth of Linaro's CI results for the testsuite: https://ow.ly/n7KT50V3xJH

ity [unit X-69] - VIOLENT FUCK

Edited 1 month ago

I am looking for a remote (I am Europe-based) internship or half-time job.

Half to learn, half for an extra income.

I do GPU driver & compiler dev for fun. Nowhere near professional level, but I got some experience and a thirst for knowledge.

I also do some type theory things with proof assistants, and some light Linux x86 reverse engineering.

I had worked on reverse engineering mpi3mr & megaraid RAID controller APIs.

I have worked extensively with Vulkan and OpenGL from writing quite a few small game engines in Java.

I did a lot of Java bytecode things; Messed with the Rust compiler; Loads of C OSDev things; Haskell (mostly messing around); Wayland (I have a bunch of simple apps); X11 (wrote a status bar, window manager, compositor, image viewer)

I have extensive experience with reading very large C codebases, and spent a lot of time digging around the internals of Linux, specifically the kernel and low level subsystems.

I worked with encrypted chat protocols specifically on E2EE, on Matrix, writing spec proposals for removing ambiguity, improving UX, and security.

I have some experience with x86 and 6502 assembly; wrote a 6502 assembler and partial (not cycle accurare) emulator.

My gitea https://gitea.itycodes.org/itycodes

If anyone is interested, please reach out. (Boosts welcome)

This is sort of my CV; I would prefer to not have to sign a contract under my legal name, and tranquillity codes is a name I use for years and has a commit in Mesa, so it should be good enough as common law.

Do note that this is a personal account, so be careful about viewing our general posts besides this one. We have posted recently about SPIR-V control flow, stack machine to SSA, and Intel GEN assembly.

"Voters in Stockholm and London both initially opposed congestion pricing before and as the toll was introduced. But as the benefits of less traffic became immediately apparent, support for the toll shot up in both cities."

Announcing it on Mastodon before anywhere else:

We've just set up a Discord server for Patreon supporters at the Sergeant and Lieutenant levels. We're doing this slowly and might expand to other tiers as we see how it all works out.

Thanks for your support!

I hope I ever get to be even *one hundredth* as brave as Zelenskyy when it comes to standing up to powerful bullies. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

@keithp ya, sounds like it...

Good news is I was trying to do something so stupid I don't even need to run the tests to know it'll never work ;)

@keithp ya, for builds crosstool-ng is great. That's why I was kind of happy to stumble into the test script. It's gluing together all the test stuff that's the big headache, I'll just end up with a box full of hung QEMU instances again...

@keithp having something smaller than OE would be great. The crosstool-ng flow would need some distro, though, and at that point I'm back to gluing stuff together -- which kind of defeats the "use someone else's stuff" goal ;)

@keithp it seems to be somewhat common, everything assumes you've got HW that you want to run the tests on. I think we're just in an odd spot because we still don't have any useful hardware...

@keithp I'd love to, that'd be way easier than trying to pile up a bunch of stuff. Looks like there's some testsuite hooks in there, but it wants to SSH <https://spacegit.unibe.ch/open-source/crosstool-ng/-/tree/a173dfa93937d835b10f3b460faaa652a017f035/contrib/gcc-test-suite>. That usually means it wants to run these on some box with another userspace?

Does anyone have a good set of GCC/glibc cross-build/test scripts? Looks like riscv-gnu-toolchain is broken again...

Many of us have now heard of Rust's "Graydon Hoare being upset at a broken embedded system in an elevator" origin story, but not many younger programmers know that C++ was invented by Bjarne Stroustrup after he forgot to null-terminate his legs while putting his shoes on one day and had to deal with the aftermath.
