I was having a look at the computing books section of a local bookstore (Livraria Cultura) and had a big suprise when I found these gems sitting at the shelf: I had no option but to buy them, of course! I’ve known about these books for a long time, and I am very excited to [...]

king of mustache

As Lucas “Well groomed” Meneghel already mentioned, LTC Brazil held the first King of Mustache contest (page in English now available, thanks to our mustache-adorned colleagues). As can be seen in the photo gallery, competition was fierce: Or maybe not that much: Yours truly also attempted to obtain the title, with what was later named [...]
GCC Summit 2008 – been there, got the t-shirt

I have finally found some time to write a bit about the GCC Developer’s Summit 2008, which happened one month ago in Ottawa, Canada (well, I didn’t really find time, since it’s past 1:30 AM now but still…). In summary, I had a blast there! I was in last year’s summit and enjoyed it and [...]
GCC Summit 2008
Posted in english, tagged community, conference, gcc, gdb, linkedin, linux, open source, planet ltc, summit, travel on Monday, June 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This year I will be attending the GCC Developers’ Summit again! I was there last year (sorry, trip report is only in Portuguese), had a great time and learned a great deal. This year it should be even more fun and interesting for me, since now I already know some people, have more GDB experience [...]
some GDB and ltrace improvements
Posted in english, tagged community, development, gdb, linkedin, linux, ltrace, open source, planet ltc, powerpc on Saturday, May 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I thought I’d provide some updates on a few things my team has been doing on debugging tools. Just today Carlos Seo committed a patch to GDB adding support for writing AltiVec (PowerPC’s SIMD instructions) registers to corefiles when using the gcore (or generate-core-file) command. This support will show up, then, in the next GDB [...]
new sticker
Posted in english, tagged development, nerd on Saturday, May 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I need a sticker for my laptop. It should read: free as in malloc. Googling for the sentence reveals only two insipid results, so I don’t see much hope of getting it soon…
vi, esc and tab
Posted in english, tagged linux, procrastination, vi, wikipedia on Thursday, May 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am, of course, a vi user (well, Vim actually). A long time ago I had a nice idea, which unfortunately wasn’t very practical so I didn’t use it for long: I remaped my Tab key to work as Esc, so I could more easily switch modes. I say it wasn’t very practical because getting [...]
posting patches using Evolution
Posted in english, tagged development, evolution, hint, linkedin, linux, open source, patch, planet ltc on Saturday, May 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Despite being a KDE person, I use Evolution as my mail client, including for reading mailing lists and posting patches. Up until now I’ve been doing the latter by attaching patches instead of including them in the message body, to avoid whitespace mangling and linewrap. But this method is inconvenient sometimes: when you want to [...]
breaking code into reviewable patches
Posted in english, tagged development, gdb, git, hint, linkedin, linux, open source, planet ltc, python, scm, version control on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As I mentioned before, I’ve been working on and off on adding Python scripting support to GDB, with Tom Tromey and Vladimir Prus. We did the work in a git repository, separate from the GDB main repo (which still uses CVS, by the way). Now came the time to get the work we did there, [...]

Open Source Initiative logo
Posted in english, tagged community, open source, rambling comment on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Maybe I’m too slow, but just now I realised what the OSI logo probably means. It may be viewed as a C with it’s open side turned not left, and not right, but down. So it’s not copyleft, but it’s not copyright either. It sits in the middle. It is a way of viewing OSI’s [...]
