<p>lemme just write a python script to talk to a cross-platform c++ program through shared memory on win32.</p><p>this certainly won&#39;t be an infinite nightmare, right?</p>

<p>so, the gdb protocol specifies g and G commands, &quot;read/write target register&quot;, to transfer register values in target byte order. i don&#39;t know what must be wrong with you to define a protocol this way, but okay</p><p>... but then lldb interprets them always in the host (the machine lldb runs at) byte order.</p><p>you can&#39;t win.</p>

<p>Getting ready for a week of compilers. Really want to do it in Rust, but it was advertised as Python so I&#39;ll have to stick with that (although maybe I&#39;ll code a Rust version on the side). I&#39;m running the course entirely in Rust in August though.</p>

Finally got to the optician a month ago and drove home in my new glasses. Immediately realised quite how little I had been seeing clearly when driving in the previous pair. Terrifying.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@dalias" class="u-url mention">@<span>dalias</span></a></span> partly </p><p>but a lot of it is people choosing a simpler solution because a more complex solution would take too much effort to implement correctly, due to C&#39;s lackluster language design</p><p>and some of it is also me straight up cheating because i have an FPGA that i can program in a Python eDSL and i take advantage of it whenever i like</p>

<p>i find it very amusing that the glasgow interface explorer frontend, a ~pure-Python application, can often enough outperform C applications built for the specific task even while running on CPython and not PyPy</p>
