Continue your series man

[sayan-mitra-9800]

I was really enjoying your series, pls continue.

WHY?

[Symmettry]

He'll get to it eventually. He has other stuff to do, be patient.

[samuelh2005]

Why did you delete everything instead of saying this in an issue?

[timomen]

A pull request for just a message? Leave a comment on youtube or find a way to contact him if you really need to. Don't make a pull request where you have deleted everything...

[johnnycharlesw]

Don't wipe the language in a PR, it will be rejected. But you're right, @orosmatthew (or Pixeled on YouTube) really needs to continue the series. Thanks for bringing it up.

[johnnycharlesw]

You know what? Let's just fork this as Oxygen (compiler: Oxygen-CPP) and continue development there, since it appears that after the series was discontinued the maintainer went inactive.

I'm down
embarrassed to say, haven't watched the full series, but i want to learn about compilers.
If someone does that, I'll start helping them as well

[TheSovietPancakes]

I have tried making a few compilers and only one really worked out. I think the maintainer left this project right before things started to get complicated.
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but...
For one, pushing and popping instead of moving directly corrupts stack frames and makes function calls nearly impossible to do (cleanly). Replacing push+pop with two movs in and out of a single temporary register can corrupt the register used, especially since registers are either passed to function/system calls (corrupting arguments) or the register's value must be saved to maintain ABI compliance.
So while the idiomatic C++ of this repository is a nice base, a complete rewrite is likely necessary to make a successful compiler. 😔

[Zone-Infinity]

Fair. Ill look into active projects then

[TheSovietPancakes]

Don't wanna sound like self promotion but I wanted to try making a YouTube series about compilers and how x86-64 Linux assembly works, but I am kind of lazy and I am also hitting the same roadblock as I described earlier- I am trying to get into nitty gritty concepts but it is hard to explain and edit.
Until I can figure that out, feel free to ask me any questions personally and I'll get back to you! Ask me about debug symbols, functions+calls, floats/float math, etc.

[Noobest1001]

We should make a discord for this

Maybe not here? Do you have anywhere else to chat. (Yall use discord?)

And before you start that series, maybe we should make the compiler first (that's wht you are doing, but maybe let it be OS so that others can help you faster)

[Zone-Infinity]

We should make a discord for this

Uhm, for what exactly?

[Noobest1001]

Idk, GitHub comments are really that good at communicating with people imo

ah yes, my bad, I thought a discord bot, Yea do the honors.

[Zone-Infinity]

isoham is my discord

[Noobest1001]

Here's the link if anyone is interested https://discord.gg/n76WkfcR
It's late where I'm at rn so I'll polish it up tomorrow

[johnnycharlesw]

Is the actual repo up yet though?

[johnnycharlesw]

I'd like to contribute to the stdlib once that's ready.

[Noobest1001]

[Noobest1001]

its up but I havent really started on it

[johnnycharlesw]

Let's just continue the discussions there for us who don't use Discord, but leave the Discord up for those who do.

[johnnycharlesw]

Well, I also gave a license suggestion. I will start contributing code-wise once Oxygen you know, actually has a compiler?
