When will npm@6.9.1 be released (and other PRs merged?)

On March 22, npm fired several members of the open source and community team for discussing workplace conditions and other labor organizing activities. As a result, core employee contributors to the npm cli were removed from the project, and others have left in solidarity or put their work on hold.

Multiple claims were filed with the NLRB on this matter. The NLRB has investigated and found sufficient evidence of validity to proceed. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects US employees' right to engage in discussions of workplace concerns without threat of retaliation -- and awareness of the importance of how we treat each other is something I valued so much in collaborating with the cli team. How can we work together if we aren't free to discuss what we need?

It's disappointing for all of us to find the work we were doing interrup

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?

(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.

In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.

Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th

This is my little Christmas-break experiment trying to (among other things) reduce the amount of generated code for containers.

THIS CODE WILL CONTAIN BUGS AND IS ONLY PRESENTED AS AN EXAMPLE.

The C++ STL is still an undesirable library for many reasons I have extolled in the past. But it's also a good library. Demons lie in this here debate and I have no interest in revisiting it right now.

The goals that I have achieved with this approach are:

twoscomplement

// A C++11 constexpr implementation of xxhash32
// Jonathan Adamczewski / https://twitter.com/twoscomplement
// A reimplementation of code from https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash


// Foundation functions / commonly used patterns

// Read four chars and construct uint32_t (little endian)
constexpr uint32_t xxh_read32(const char* input)
