Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

To Save C, We Must Save ABI
Operating systems already do language-independent ABI files: https://github.com/marlersoft/win32json so the only thing missing is symbol versioning, which already has solutions: https://github.com/ziglang/glibc-abi-tool

Using Zig as Cross Platform C Toolchain
> enabling you to target any version of glibc out of the box by building symbol mappings: https://github.com/ziglang/glibc-abi-tool/
This would be huge. How can I tell zig cc to use a particular glibc version though?

Ask HN: Who is using the D language and likes/doesn't like it? Why?

I care about a minimal set of tools in order to compile C/C++ programs. thats offered by:
https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases
and also MSYS2, and even the Zig C compiler. all less than 200 MB. meanwhile Visual Studio installing about 10 GB worth. If Microsoft can offer a similar experience then I am interested.

Clang compiler for Windows 10 gives this error
Pick a community-supported Clang-based Mingw-w64 distribution.

might want to check your facts before spouting nonsense. there is, and has been for many, many years. more than one in fact:
-
Release candidate: Godot 4.0 RC 5 (Yes, the pace is picking up!)
MinGW is notoriously slow to link compared to MSVC, unless using llvm-mingw with the link=lld SCons option. If using MSVC, make sure to use 2022 or at least 2019 if possible – recent linkers tend to be faster than older versions.

Toolchain for cross-compiling DLL to windows/arm64
GCC doesn't support windows/arm64, but you should be able to do it with LLVM. I've never gotten it to work myself, but should be able to supply a cross toolchain: https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw

Ask HN: Programming Without a Build System?
Visual Studio is a bloated mess, and has been for many years. Its at least 10 times larger than other options, such as MinGW-LLVM:

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively
Sadly Qt ships MinGW 8.1 which is positively ancient (released in 2018). If you're starting a new project (which you likely are if you are installing an IDE aha) there's no reason not to go for more recent compilers - msys2 has GCC12 (https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc) and Clang 14 (https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-clang) which just work better overall, have much more complete C++20 support, have less bugs, better compile times (especially clang with the various PCH options that appeared in the last few versions), better static analysis, etc.
Personally I use https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw's releases directly which does not require MSYS but that's because I recompile all my libraries with specific options - if the MSYS libs as they are built are good for you there's no reason not to use them.

The Atrocities of COM win32 headers
Clang (and lld) do support native TLS, and mingw-w64 does have the things that are needed. I think binutils also might have what's needed too, but AFAIK the thing that's missing is support for it in GCC.
Actually, (upstream) Clang defaults to native TLS instead of emulated TLS. In MSYS2, Clang is overridden to use emulated TLS by deafult to interoperate better with GCC built code and libstdc++ though.
The toolchain I maintain, https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw, defaults to native TLS throughout.
