Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

Maintaining Java Installs on macOS Using Homebrew Cask

Recently, I upgraded my MacBook Pro from a old, trusty Yosemite to Sierra, and reluctantly had to clean out the old JDK versions I had accumulated over a few years. I also wanted to have a Java 9 JDK to play around with the new module system and API’s.

Good news is that, for a while now, you have been able to install and upgrade multiple versions of JDK using only your shell, without having to deal with Oracle’s graphical installers.

To install Java from scratch, install Homebrew Cask cask-update (you need to have Homebrew already installed) first, then install Java using Cask:

brew tap buo/cask-upgrade & brew tap caskroom/versions
brew cask install java8

Hub as a Gateway

Miners are required to have a public IP address and a properly configured firewall to make all things work properly. But sometimes it is not possible due to either security, privacy or provider limitations. This also includes miners behind the NAT.

To be able to work with these miners a Hub can be configured as a gateway.

Note: we assume that it is possible to build a private network between Hub and miners.

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2020-05-31: I won't be maintaining this page or responding to comments anymore (except for perhaps a few exceptional occasions). ]

---

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

2021 Update: Easiest option is Justin's repo and image

Just run this from your Mac terminal and it'll drop you in a container with full permissions on the Docker VM. This also works for Docker for Windows for getting in Moby Linux VM (doesn't work for Windows Containers).

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

Profiling performance

Using perf:

$ perf record -g binary
$ perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | rust-unmangle | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg

NOTE: See @GabrielMajeri's comments below about the -g option.
