Here's the thing about wait, waitid, waitpid, and sys/wait.h, all of these are POSIX, but not C or Windows, and they're *ALL PTHREADS RELATED*, so that means either shipping OCC...

fork/wait technically are process related, but are used often as a method to dispatch and run pseudo-threads, I was being dumb on what exactly I was saying yesterday, but the...

I actually did not mean to suggest adding WinPThreads, I was just being stupid and thought fork() was implemented on that. The thing I was saying is that adding all...

I've dug up the old Intel Pentium II optimization guideline pdf on the internet [here](http://www.ii.uib.no/~osvik/intel_opt/24512701.pdf) which uses the same exact example code for branch prediction as the [new manual](https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/9e/bc/64-ia-32-architectures-optimization-manual.pdf), for...

https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/25112.PDF#page=142 It appears rules 3-6 are all true as well, with AMD being more specific about inline size (25 instructions), 3 jmps in a 16 byte block, unroll loops, arrange...

https://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf Agner seems to have compiled a good list of everything from P1 up. I also thought it through and that unless we have indicators in code or PGO (profile...

Yes, IMHO the best way to perform branch prediction in absence of PGO is [[likely]] and [[unlikely]], depending on the arch/processor we're compiling for we can actually give it hints...

As for the "new" windows headers: Our best bet for this one is most likely, as I've suggested before, pulling from MINGW64, however I cam now recognize some of the...

Isn't there a way to natively create a DLL anyways? I personally am confused if it's really needed as I thought you could just compile into a DLL

BTW While doing my COFF parsing research I encountered a section of [pecoff_v8.doc](https://web.archive.org/web/20100314154747/http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/PECOFF.mspx) that dealt specifically with Delay-load-libraries and their format inside of an Image. I think this will be...
