Maybe I should say Compiler Explorer instead of Godbolt. This should be mandatory for any programming environment, along with a CPU emulator showing how data moves through the ALU, and all the ports, to which registers it goes to, and how everything works clock by clock. I hope AI makes this possible, at least for VS Code and C++.
Comment on Hacker News · 3 direct replieshttps://github.com/pacak/cargo-show-asm is a nice helper for the Rust->asm part of this that has seen a decent amount of work for handling all the edge cases. (I've contributed a bit to it to handle some Windows issues.)
Comment on Hacker News+1 only because of the seemingly non-AI README. Such a joy to get the core info in one glimpse

Comment on Hacker NewsI usually want to see assembly during debugging, not development. For which rad debugger is a must (now on Linux!): https://github.com/EpicGames/raddebugger
Comment on Hacker NewsThat's interesting. There is also https://codeberg.org/Jorenar/nvim-dap-disasm if you want to get it for actual compiled result + debugger.
Comment on Hacker Newsgenuinely asking, but isn't today the AI writing the code?
