llvm reviews and mentions

• The Wonderfully Terrible World of C and C++ Text Encoding APIs (With Some Rust)
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Oct 2022

  UTF-8 vs UTF-16 vs UTF-32 encoding/decoding are just simple data transformations [1], you don't need a 'complete UNICODE implemenentation' for this (and ISO/IEC be damned, those conversion functions would still be useful to have in the C and C++ stdlibs)

• cross compiling issues with mingw32
  1 project | /r/cpp | 16 Apr 2022

  It's more work to set up (unfortunately), but it's also possible to grab the MSVC and Windows SDKs from a Windows machine with MSVC installed, and then use those to cross-compile on Linux using clang-cl. LLVM has a CMake toolchain file demonstrating this. That'd let you build against the C++ standard library in the MSVC redistributable, so you wouldn't have to distribute it yourself.

• Rediscovering Hamming Code
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Apr 2021

  An extension to this infact is the following - https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/f36485f7ac2a8d72ad0...

  So the original user's comment might infact get detected by this and get optimised down to using popcnt. Will need to try it out. :-)
