GopherCon 2017: Generating Better Machine Code with SSA - Keith Randall

[@sanderbos4243]

Super helpful overview for me, as I've started writing my own compiler and was looking for a high-level rundown

[@NikRoby]

Fantastic talk on SSA and how it works in the Go compiler. I would love to see a talk on how you ported the SSA optimizations to other processors.

[@wojciechkaczmarek5394]

Awesome! Also: he loves the close-to-the-metal stuff, a lot of passion for the topic

Great speech dad!

[@keithrandall5927]

Great comment, Alex!

[@jaime7295]

It was a great talk!!

[@furkanturkal8414]

Thank you so much for such a great speech, Randall!

[@basgerrit907]

Great talk! Curious how much it has changed compared to the current Go version...

[@frezeednb]

Amazing talk! Thanks so much to Keith and also for sharing this!

Is the optimisation step in a c++ compiler the reason why c++ compiler today is still much slower then Go compile time?

[@jack-d2e6i]

Optimisations are definitely part of it. There's quite a few attributes of C++ that make is slow to compile: stackoverflow.com/questions/318398/why-does-c-compilation-take-so-long

[@billclinton4913]

Bruh, why are the destinations and sources reversed?

[@shuangcui]

good

I want dark slides background :(
