LPC and other questions ?

LPC and other questions ?

[Joseph Watanabe]

Hello and good morning,

Recently I had the privilege of stumbling upon a few of the videos on youtube. I really found them helpful, and learned quite a bit. I will say I probably have to watch them a few more times to even begin to have a level of understanding that everyone had years ago.... Anyway, there are a few things I noticed and wanted to reach out.
From the list of sponsors, I thought the company that I work with would be one as well, but more than likely there are no one aware.. I am not in any position to make any decisions on that level at all, but I don't think it would hurt if you could describe to me the process and I could forward that information to someone.. somewhere..
I'm not sure how all of these things would work at the moment..
Anyway, I was also wondering about rust ? I have not used it yet, usually I use gcc/gcc-c++/gcc-gfortran for most cases. Is there another webpage I could check out also?
There are also other issues that I am starting to notice and am having trouble verifying a few things, and it might or might not be good to be verified.. I don't know..  Maybe we can discuss this later sometime.

Thanks for your time,
Have a good day


-Joseph

The toolchain track at the LPC has started as a replacement of an
otherwise in-person conference called GNU Tools Cauldron in times when
in-person events are difficult to organize.  Many of us hope that we
will have a Cauldron again next year, I am not sure what it will mean
for the track at LPC.  It might not happen.

If you think your employer would be interested in sponsoring the
Cauldron, please reach out to tools-cauldron-admin@googlegroups.com.

If you are interested in an LPC track only, you'll have to find some
equivalent contact at the https://linuxplumbersconf.org page.

The rust FE team publishes a regular (monthly?) report on their
progress, the last one is at:

https://github.com/Rust-GCC/Reporting/blob/main/2021-10-25-report.org

Hope this helps,
