cargo build looks simple.
But under the hood? It’s a maze of compiler stages, optimizations, and decisions. At #EuroRust25, @noratrieb will break it down. From rustc to LLVM to linking and all the steps in between.

What did I do in rustc in November?

"Mundane Halloween" returns!
It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Fish the Beaver at #EuroRust2024
ALT A beaver plushie with glasses and a EuroRust conference badge with name "Fish" and stickers "skilled user", "beaver", "10x engineer" and "job hunting".
it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening.
"Memory safety is a very small part of security."
-- C++ Committee submission to DOE laying out the language's memory safety strategy.
It's not a long document. Give it a read.

and security.googleblog.com/2024… nicely shows that you *don't* need to rewrite everything to get large memory safety improvements, just switching to somehow memory safe for future code is enough, and C++ is in the best position to have good interop with existing C++ code

If your code forces me to think about the order of operator precedence in the language, you should add some ().
