Announcing general availability of Amazon EC2 M2 Mac instances for macOS - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M2 Mac instances are now generally available (GA). These instances deliver up to 10% faster performance over the existing M1 Mac instances when building and testing applications for Apple platforms such as iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and Safari. M2 Mac instances are powered by the AWS Nitro System and are built on Apple M2 Mac Mini computers featuring 8 core CPU, 10 core GPU, 24 GiB of memory, and 16 core Apple Neural Engine.

[MS] Pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index, remarks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In my earlier discussion of pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index , I noted that with the Pack Indexing proposal, you would be able to write this to pull an item from a parameter pack while preserving its reference category. template<int index, typename...Args> void example(Args&&... args) { auto&& arg = (Args...[index]&&)args...[index]; using Arg = Args...[index]&&; } Why did I need to apply the (Args...[index]&&) cast ? Why can't I just write this: auto&& arg = args...[index]; or possibly decltype(auto) arg = args...[index]; Well, when you write the name of a variable, the result is an lvalue reference, even if the variable is an rvalue reference . Watch: struct S { S(S&); // construct from lvalue S(S&&); // construct from rvalue }; void whathappens(S&& s) { S t = s; // which will it use? } Try it out in your favorite compiler. This code construc...

[MS] Debugger breakpoints are usually implemented by patching the in-memory copy of the code - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In practice, when you set a code breakpoint in the debugger, the debugger replaces the instruction at that location with a breakpoint instruction.¹ When execution reaches that instruction, it will encounter the breakpoint instruction and break into the debugger. When the program has been stopped in the debugger, what happens next can vary from debugger to debugger. Some debuggers remove all their breakpoints when the program stops, and then restore the breakpoints when the program resumes. Other debuggers leave the breakpoints in place even when the program is stopped. In both cases, if you inspect the memory in the debugger, you will see the original unpatched code. In the first case, it's because the code really is unpatched; the breakpoint instructions are removed. In the second case, it's because the debugger is lying to you and showing you the original bytes even though they aren't what are in memory right now. Most of the time, this deception is insignificant. Eve...
