Deep dives into the machinery behind compilers and program analysis—code generation, register allocation, compile-time evaluation, parsing at speed, and proving what programs actually do.

Static analyzers generally speaking are abstract interpreters that analyze and emit diagnostics of program , meaning that they analyze a program using abstract values rather than dynamic…
C++ got in C++20 — a hard guarantee that a function is evaluated at compile time, not may-be like . so I decided spending my evenings adding it to C# 🙃. but with all seriousness what I…
C++ has been around for over 41 years. Over the years, many features have been added, and one of the most powerful is compile-time computation . C++ actually had this capability before its…
In the compiler world, one of the hardest problems to solve is register allocation, and it's no coincidence! But what is register allocation? Register allocation is the problem of assigning…
When retargeting compiler backends, especially in LLVM, we are usually discussing native chips like CPUs or GPUs. While the underlying architecture of each vendor differs—cores and memory…
Parsers have been around since the dawn of computing. If you've worked with compiler frontends or semi-structured data processors like JSON or XML, you’ve likely implemented or maintained…
If you're a developer today, chances are you've experienced the “magic” of LLMs in your workflow, whether you realize it or not. That auto-completion in your JetBrains IDE, Visual Studio…
