llvm-project VS SDL

Interesting! What is your take on TinyGo. How does the LLVM compiler compare to say something you are familiar with, i.e. gcc? Would it be comparable?

Locating this kind of bug usually starts innocently, by commenting out various places of your own code, then analyzing your program under a debugger only to find yourself doing git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project a few hours later 😅

> Should I report it somewhere?

Please do. You can open an issue (Bugzilla has been deprecated) on LLVM's github repo: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project

Apple | Debugger Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | Cupertino

The LLDB team at Apple is looking for an engineer to work on the LLDB debugger. LLDB is a core part of Apple's developer tools, used internally to debug Apple's software stack and externally by millions of developers. You’ll be able to work on different levels of the stack: from supporting our existing and upcoming platforms to developing new features to make debugging even better. Most of your work will be open source, on llvm.org (http://llvm.org/) and github.com (http://github.com/) where you’ll collaborate with the LLVM and Swift community.

If you love working on low-level tools you should check out the details here: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200311412/debugger-engi...

clang + lldb for getting work done

The other error message is about SDL2, which is a commonly-used library that handles window creation etc. in a platform-agnostic way. There should be an apt package for it, but I'm not sure what it's called. I'd recommend searching Ubuntu's repositories for that and installing it to fix your issue.

Testing stuff out right now. Here is a link: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL

See also https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues for various OS-specific issues.

Release notes here

Beginning with SDL 2.0.0, OpenGL is supported and Vulkan support was added to SDL 2.0.6. https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/test/testvulkan.c may help you get started with creating and managing Vulkan surfaces using SDL2. Unfortunately, there isn't many available tutorials when it comes to using Vulkan with SDL that I could find, save for this Gamdev post.

While I'd wait for Microsoft's supposed new Input API to come out on PC (which seems to support PlayStation Controllers right off the bat), I believe SDL2's GameController is the best-case scenario in the meantime, since they already support Motion Sensors, Impulse Triggers, Adaptive Triggers, LED, Touchpad and Paddles(?) while they handle quite the gamepad database. I'm starting to see popular emulators and recent PC sourceports (such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time) taking advantage of it since they expanded their GameController support.

keep an eye on https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5495

A quick search reveals that SDL2 ships a SDL2Config.cmake, instead of FindSDL2.cmake, that's why I'm wondering.
