Гений 21 века. Чем сейчас занимается Фабрис Беллар
Некоторые программисты настолько хорошо известны, что не нуждаются в особом представлении. Наверное, Фабрис Беллар — самая яркая звезда современности. Автор мультимедийного комбайна FFmpeg, эмулятора QEMU и десятков других полезных программ — абсолютный гений и пример программиста 100х, который в одиночку принёс больше пользы миру, чем многие корпорации с сотнями разработчиков. В общем, все знают Фабриса — про него ещё была статья на Хабре двенадцать лет назад… … Но по просьбам молодых читателей мы решили вернуться к этой теме. Оно и к лучшему, ведь Фабрис многое сделал за это десятилетие, особенно в области нейросетей.
@ekaitz_zarraga and I have finally bootstrapped #TinyCC on #RISCV starting from GNU #Mes and #MesCC (and eventually tiny #hex0 binary if you go further back).
The binary that we have built is self-hosting and can build itself, though perhaps a few more bugfixes will be needed to reach the newest version of tcc.
@janneke @aziz @fsf @fsfe @reproducible_builds @ekaitz_zarraga Indeed! Right now we can bootstrap all the way from #hex0 to #Mes, then use #MesCC to build very first build of #tinycc (we can call it mes-tcc). mes-tcc can then build the next build of tinycc (boot0-tcc). Unfortunately, at the moment boot0-tcc segfaults. Today, I fixed one crash which was due to Global Offset Table being all zeros but it turns out we are now hitting another segfault, so more work is needed.
Spent part of my #RechageDay at #AMD looking at bootstrapping #TinyCC 0.9.26 from #GNUMes on #x86_64 architecture. And thanks to #Mes mantainer @janneke for his help with debugging various issues. We can now build initial #tcc binary and it can even run some simple commands such as --help or -vv.
Unfortunately, we still hit some critical bugs when trying to use this tcc binary to rebuild itself but hopefully we are not far now.
@lispi314 sidenote: that #guile bootstrap path was developed for #guix :
GNU Mes (maxwell equations of software) provides a minimal #scheme interpreter and C #compiler with tooling to build #tinycc that can be used with the Mes C library to compile glibc-2.2.5, binutils-2.20.1, gcc-2.95.3 with which you can build the whole #GNU system.
Thanks to #GCCrs that will soon include #Rust
Thanks to #Python on Guile it includes a shortcut for compatible Python-based tooling.

I deeply admire and envy Fabrice Bellard, creator of #FFmpeg, #QEMU, #TinyCC, and countless other impactful projects.
