Yes that's what I said a few posts back. Commander-X16 is a completely different thing. It's a hardware prototype of an 8-bit computer they he plans to sell to 8-bit enthusiasts. It's like an Apple II or Commodore 64, but without some of the quirks these old designs had. Will have BASIC built into ...

The CGA algorithm just screams for SSE expansion. 1. load 4 pixels ( 8 bytes, AVX2 could do 8 at once) 2. and mask the alpha bytes to 0 3. expand them (punpacklow and -hiw or so) to two register word values. 4. phaddw them horiztontally together. (adds two color values) 5. phaddw again. 6 divide by ...

This is not entirely correct. Basically the Linux kernel just stores bytes, and assume the higher level libraries maintain some system in encoding. On most distros this is indeed utf-8, but on older and embedded (uclibc) libraries it might still be some ansi encoding. Specially on e.g. filer firmwar...

Maybe this: Sorry, but you don't seem to understand: we speak about a Compiler-Intrinsic , which should be usable "as-is", and not first needing to be converted, before use. (Which would defeat the purpose of having them, in the first place.) Worse, if it emits strange formats like mm-dd-...

If you search from keywords on the web, you will easily find free converters (eg from chm to epub). For example: https://www.freefileconvert.com/chm-epub (be a little patient to wait for the result) I tested with the largest CHM I could find (a 14MB, 25000 lemma FPC helpfile), and the conversion to...

Maybe the antivirus keeps a lock on the generated exe. Try excluding related directories from the antivirus

How about it? How would it be useful?

(and then I assume relative to simple library implementations like bit packed records like struct { int quadra:4})

I miss QT. Together with Winapi and GTK I'd say those are the major options.

I've no clue of C++ vtable layout, but if vtable[0] is not a method, it might also be a pointer to some other descriptor table (like for multiple inheritance or RTTI).

I don't see the constructor declared as virtual, so why would it be in the vtable? Are constructors always virtual by default?

(minor detail: afaik that doesn't work for roots)

Debug info by default. strip can be always done afterwards on release.

Unstripping is hard :-)

And debuginfo, make sure they are properly stripped.

TAChart doesn't use gnuplot or anything external.
