11:46 <onsdag[m]> <thejpster[m]1> "when can I have const in asm..." <- we've been doing some fun stuff around this lately https://github.com/perlindgren/csr

11:47 <onsdag[m]> it does automatic instruction selection (immediate/register-based) depending on whether the value to be written is statically known or not

11:48 <onsdag[m]> it relies on an LLVM intrinsic so it's unstable, i think stabilizing it doesn't really have showstoppers and would open up for some cool things

11:49 <onsdag[m]> * it's unstable, but i think

12:15 <AlexandrosLiarok> I am currently using linker = arm-none-eabi-ld because otherwise I get custom section overlap errors.

12:15 <AlexandrosLiarok> Am I missing something obvious ?

12:42 <cacharle[m]> Hi, does anyone here has experience with the atat crate?

12:42 <cacharle[m]> I'm struggling to parse URCs with it (related issue: https://github.com/FactbirdHQ/atat/issues/210)

13:49 <AlexandrosLiarok> does anyone know how to run cargo-call-size when c-ffi bindings are involved?

13:49 <AlexandrosLiarok> s//`/, s/size/stack`/

14:51 <dirbaio[m]> if you use the `-Csoft-float` flag or are familiar with hard vs soft float abi your input might be useful here 👇️

14:52 <dirbaio[m]> cursed stable soundness-altering flag lol

16:50 <thejpster[m]1> Apparently I can’t paste GIFs on my iPhone. Possibly because I’m old enough to have downloaded GIFs on Compuserve.

17:43 <AlexandrosLiarok> <AlexandrosLiarok> "does anyone know how to run ..." <- Turns out I needed to apply a PR patch. This along with the stack inversion a la flip-link is a great experience. Managed to reduce stack usage by ~30kb now that I have proper feedback.

19:14 <thejpster[m]1> Rusty Bits did a one hour walkthrough of making an embedded application on the microbit that does multiple things at once. It’s really good.

19:15 <thejpster[m]1> But damn those pop-over help boxes as he types do get in the way.

19:17 <thejpster[m]1> I love that Ferris turns up to give him grief every time he tries to do some unsafe.

19:17 <dirbaio[m]> it's a pretty good explanation on how it works from the ground up yup!

19:18 <thejpster[m]1> Honestly I might just ask if I can turn this into an embedded exercise for my training course.

21:53 <therustybits[m]> <thejpster[m]1> "But damn those pop-over help..." <- Yeah, that certainly wasn't great.. not sure if there is a way to keep RA running without auto-complete suggestions on, though with my terrible typing I do rely on it quite heavily. The whole video was a bit of a gamble on whether that style of project video (screen-capture the whole thing at around 2x) would be watchable

21:55 <therustybits[m]> <thejpster[m]1> "Honestly I might just ask if I..." <- That would be awesome, go for it! 👍️

22:59 <cbjamo[m]> <therustybits[m]> "Yeah, that certainly wasn't..." <- Two points:

22:59 <cbjamo[m]> A. I'm gonna make all my coworkers (who work on our firmware) watch this. Great job!

22:59 <cbjamo[m]> 2. I think the format worked well. The typing sections allow the concepts you just discussed to sink in.

23:01 <therustybits[m]> That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback!
