The point was to get people to look at the asm output of the compiler, as
results can be surprising (as you've also discovered).


...of the compilerS - please :)

can you post your (full, closed) D array access example from the talk
so i don't need to play around with the optimizer to get your asm results



It's the Warp source code. I don't have a reduced test case.

I used dmd.



i sometimes got the feeling that you underestimate the sheer 
power of todays clang or gcc optimizers - so partly what 
gdc/ldc can do with your code


reminds me of brian schotts exmaple of his sse2 optimized 
version of his lexer - the dmd generated was much faster then 
the normal version, but gdc/ldc results of the unoptimized 
versions are still 50% faster

I think this somewhat misses the point of the example, which I 
would say was - in academia-speak - purely illustrative.


The point still stands, which is "unless you understand the 
compiler and the architecture, stop trying to second guess 
performance on the micro-level"

It doesn't seem to be my account itself, just that link. 
Someone else says they tried posting it too but I can't see it, 
I think reddit just doesn't like the link.

This looks great! A lot better than my non-pythonized snippets :)

I can tell them to search the web for it though.

one of them was

Yeah, the top level post seems to work, but comments on other
posts, including this one, don't show up. The indirect link plan
appears to work though.

So, I implemented that for the builtin ones for the fish shell...
It's manually implemented, but easy enough to extend.

https://github.com/kiith-sa/DSnips

This is an attempt to overhaul the D snippets I got merged to 
UltiSnips (now a separate "vim-snippets" repository), as the 
previous snippets had quite a few bugs. The snippets should 
now be easy to use together/chain (e.g. an "imp" (import) 
snippet places the cursor on the beginning of the next line so 
"imp" can be used for another import, "wrap in try/catch" 
places the cursor to be ready to add more catch blocks, 
"module" license can be replaced by using another snippet 
inside it, etc.


There are some rather "intelligent" snippets, e.g. an operator 
builder for opBinary/opUnary/opOpAssign that will generate the 
skeleton for all operators typed in by the user, automatic 
DDoc Params: generation from function parameters, etc.


I want to eventually try to merge this back to the default 
repository, but I'd like some comments/criticism/ideas first. 
Should any snippets be removed? Added? Any problems with the 
current snippets? (the wrap in try/catch in the previous 
version had issues with wrapping indented text, for example)


Trying this out now. It's very good so far, nice work!

Plain text transcript of the video (typed up by me, so there may 
be some errors but the bulk of it should be readable)


http://arsdnet.net/dconf-transcript.txt

I'll do an annotated HTML version when my schedule permits but 
for now you can look at the plain text file there (if you don't 
see it all, try refreshing because you might have last night's 
version cached) if you want something searchable or don't like 
videos. I randomly made notes of the timestamp as I typed it up 
so you can jump to it in the vid too. But, since for the most 
part it was just me pacing and talking, except for a few points 
where I used my fingers to illustrate points, you aren't really 
missing that much sticking to plain text (except for 
transcription errors).


I'll post the annotated version when it is done here too.
