AMD Upstreams AVX10_V2_AUX Support Into LLVM Clang 24

In addition to AMD working on AVX10_V2_AUX support for the GCC compiler, this summer they also posted AVX10_V2_AUX support for the LLVM/Clang compiler. As of yesterday that enablement was merged for LLVM 24 for that important step toward AI Compute Extensions (ACE)...

why Rust is the greatest programming language of all time, in one screenshot

error: avoid using labels containing only the digits `0` and `1` in inline assembly

= note: an LLVM bug makes these labels ambiguous with a binary literal number on x86

llvm is when there is an intermediate bytecode.
.net CLR? llvm.
JVM? llvm.
erlang BEAM? believe it or not, also llvm.

[AVR] alignment of stack allocations gets silently ignored · Issue #169190 · llvm/llvm-project

Consider the following translation unit: struct nya { int a; }; void g(void *); void f() { _Alignas(64) struct nya x = {3}; g(&x); } When compiled with clang as follows, the generated code doesn't ...

In the latest version of uv, we've updated the build system for our managed Python versions to use the latest LLVM version and cherry-picked an extra fix for a performance bug (github.com/llvm/llvm-pr...) and the early benchmarks are pretty exciting!
