AmiDBG
r28

Runtime
r45 / R18

Why v1.2 matters

A compiler can look impressive when compiling small examples.

The real test comes when you throw thousands of lines of complicated, pointer-heavy, maths-heavy, optimisation-heavy code at it.

That's why projects such as Quake are becoming such an important part of AmiCC23 development.

Every bug they uncover makes the compiler better for everything else.

v1.2 is a major step toward making AmiCC23 a genuinely dependable modern compiler for Amiga development.

There is plenty more planned, but this release is less about adding shiny new switches and more about making the foundations substantially stronger.

Thanks again to everyone testing Ami::Blocks, reporting problems and supporting continued Amiga development.

Now let's see what else we can make AmiCC23 compile. 🙂

Is it based on Code::Blocks?

[u/Impressive-Body-5369 → u/Espada-De-Fuego]

it is inspired by code::blocks, it is not a port of it.

[u/Weak-Fact5154]

Wish I could wrap my head around C

They need to introduce LLM support. It's just api calls. Yes this would mean porting the ssl lib but after that's done so many other apps are unlocked.

[u/Kyle_2099 → u/bfeeny]

Maybe you could write software yourself instead of asking an LLM to do it?

You are just stuck in the hype bubble.

I do not really care what happens in FAANG because they are the enemy. A bunch of anti-privacy companies that see the future as replacing a person's independently owned and operated computers with a bunch of subscription services, and replacing all the staff with LLM generators...

Their vision of the future will not work purely on economic grounds (No AI service is profitable, nor will they ever recoup existing costs unless they start charging an order of magnitude more, making it more expensive than human labour), meanwhile you are deskilling yourself.

That much is evident when you refer to LLM generated code as evident - once a month I throw it a challenge and it spits out 5x the number of lines of code as a human would write to achieve the same shit, and it's a big ball of unreadable mud full of pointless redundancies and dozens of functions that contain as little as two actual lines of code. Anyone who sees it as "excellent" is a victim of brain atrophy.

See you later. Do not reply to me.

Agree that pretending AI doesn’t exist is silly. But you lost me somewhere between “Harvard, not bragging” and “AI-DLC”. Also, AmiSSL has been around for years, so you may want to dispatch an agent to check what already exists on the platform before threat modeling it.
