cpp-docs VS refterm

It looks like it was declared in Nov 21, and in May 23 they merged in the "fix" by adding "it's approximate" to the docs ( https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs/commit/447b5d8a781... ), so not sure this is the best approach for actual bugs.

Now can you get Microsoft to fix their broken implementation of FMA? (see https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs/pull/3526 for details)

Doc bug: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs/issues/3766

I googled what is ucrt

If you want to keep it minimal, here's a good example.

refterm, a terminal emulator proof of concept.

> licensing it so that they couldn’t even look at it

https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/blob/main/LICENSE

It’s just GPL 2.0, what are you talking about!?

Are Microsoft employees vampires that will burn up instantly if they merely glance at GPL code or something?

This is sour grapes nonsense from Microsoft. “We don’t like your tone so we won’t even dignify your argument by considering it.”

At one point an MS employee said they would love to fix their code as suggested by Casey but he refused to even look at the YouTube video!

“I would love to hear your arguments but I refuse to listen to the sound of your voice.” is next-level dismissive.

You might also find https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm interesting.

Casey Muratori made a renderer/terminal a short while back. Might be a good reference of you intend to go that route. https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

You keep complaining that it's not a fully working terminal. Casey, on the other hand, writes here: [1]

> These features are not designed to be comprehensive, since this is only meant to be a reference renderer, not a complete terminal.

After that post they did implement a full reference implementation:

And there is movement in getting changes into the terminal itself:

For a basic example of why you would want GPU acceleration, have a look at refterm: https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

Even processes that you wouldn't think would be impacted by a terminal can be hurt relaly bad by your terminal's performance: your compiler's logs, etc. The GPU rendering part merely guarantees that your terminal sticks at 60FPS (or, whatever your refresh rate is) if the processing behind is efficient.
