If the "optimizer broke your code" it's nearly a 100% chance you code has UB in it.

I just decided to tag v1.0.0 of my embedded scripting engine `cons_expr`. This code "works for me" and has been used in one project so far.
https://github.com/lefticus/cons_expr/releases/tag/v1.0.0-works-for-me
Here's a demo tool to play with it. Click in the bottom middle thing and type some expressions and look at the machine usage and output and such: https://lefticus.github.io/cons_expr/ccons_expr/

Fellow nerds! 🤓 Want to help me play test my new Programming Puzzles Game website? https://programmingpuzzles.fun It's the companion site to my Programming Puzzles for Everyone book.
Have fun and report any issues.
I'm super surprised to see that my ridiculous constexbrau haus designs are my best sellers right now!

I just did a round of updates to my starter project. Most significant is automatic build and deployment of your project to github pages with a CI emscripten build!
* emscripten
* CI OS Updates
* CI Compiler updates
* Fine tuning of static analysis

The only way to see how I Fixed Move Semantics is to come to C++Online next week!
I'm doing some research, and am curious what your company is doing with AI:
(this is to help me know what kinds of issues to address in my training material)
I just ran an experiment, and "fun fact"... Agentic AI did a more correct and more complete port of Doom to C++ than I was able to in 1/10 the time (1.5hrs), if you remember my epic live stream doing that...
Replying to
@rollbear @DanielaKEngert Many of these things compilers can and do warn on - if you enable them.
I'd say at least 25% of professional devs (based on my surveys) think -Wall enables all of the possible warnings.

@siddharth_s Ok, short story - I have a working fork of SQLite that compiles in C++ mode and it took Claude 4 hrs to do it. I recorded the entire thing - not sure if it'll be an episode or not.
