    Tail-call optimization in C is now practical in GCC and Clang

    The post argues that tail-call optimization in C was historically limited by calling-convention constraints and was not broadly available in older compilers. It notes that modern GCC and Clang can now perform the kind of tail calls needed for interpreter dispatch, enabling techniques such as direct-threaded code and large-scale snippet generation. The discussion cites Gforth and WebAssembly interpreter implementations as examples of why this matters.

    Linux Ecosystem Shows Diverging AI Policy Approaches

    The article describes how AI policies differ widely across the Linux ecosystem, from stricter rules in GCC to the Linux kernel’s more pragmatic stance and Kubernetes’ disclosure-oriented model. Despite these differences, the common goal is to keep human maintainers as the final authority over code changes.

    GCC adopts AI contribution policy

    The GCC steering committee has approved an AI contributions policy that rejects legally significant submissions containing LLM-generated content or content derived from it. The policy still allows LLM use for research, analysis, bug discovery, and review, and the committee said it will revisit the rules periodically.

    Beautiful Type Erasure with C++26 Reflection

    The post introduces rjk::duck, a single-header C++ library that uses C++26 reflection to simplify advanced type erasure. It aims to reduce boilerplate while supporting owned and non-owned objects, interface composition, adapters, and extension methods, though it currently requires GCC with experimental reflection flags.
