Epoch 64-bit compiler progress


Just a short while ago, the first working 64-bit compiler for Epoch was produced!




Well, "working" might be a minor stretch; it launches, prints a simple text banner message, and then exits cleanly. But that represents a lot of operational code by it…

Epoch 64-bit self-hosting progress

For a decent while now, I’ve been working on self-hosting the Epoch 64-bit compiler. This involves getting the compiler to a point where it is robust enough to actually compile itself. In order to do this, I’m using a modified 32-bit compiler which generates 64-bit binaries. Once a working 64-bit…

Epoch Code-Generation Update

A few minutes ago, the first 64-bit self-hosted compiler for Epoch finished the code-generation process…​ unsuccessfully.

For context, this means that the 64-bit compiler (as built by the existing 32-bit compiler) was lexed, parsed, type-checked, and turned into LLVM IR. What didn’t happen…

Welcome to the Bag of Holding

This is a quick test of HubPress.io to see how I like it. Assuming all goes well, I will probably resume posting Bag of Holding entries here soon. Ancient archives from the Bag of Holding are on GameDev.net if you happen to like my writing. They are very, very old t…

This is a quick test of HubPress.io to see how I like it. Assuming all goes well, I will probably resume posting Bag of Holding entries here soon. Ancient archives from the Bag of Holding are on GameDev.net if you happen to like my writing. They are very, very old though.

On Embedding General-Purpose Scripting Languages
I spend a lot of time thinking about programming languages. Most often it's from the perspective of a consumer, i.e. a programmer using Language X. Sometimes it's from the viewpoint of someone who wants to explore Language Y, either for fun or for practical usage. Occasionally I see languages from …

MMOs! Y u no EZ?
A common aspiration among nascent game developers is to make an MMO. It's actually a pretty common aspiration in many perfectly functional, well-established studios, as well; but at least on GDNet, we mainly see newbies who want to make the next World of Warcraft, and so it's easy to be misled into…

Fun with templates. "Fun." Ha, ha.
So I have an interesting situation where I wrote a math-intensive API to allow easy composition of various functions. The details are pretty easy so I'll just show an example of what the API usage looks like:

formula.Create() .Set(0.0f) .AddWithWeight(some_data_source, 0.5f) .Multi…
