I built a header-only proto3 wire-format library with one constraint: no .proto files, no codegen, no descriptor runtime. The user writes a plain C++ struct, and that struct is the schema:
This is a late summary of 2025—the calendar has turned to February 2026.
In the past year, almost all of my time was devoted to the Bazel build system: a unified build system based on Bazel for projects in all languages. I had originally planned to spend time on Triton, but ended up with none. The LLVM JIT effort was suspended due to business changes, and no effort went into ClangIR.
cc_shared_library is a Bazel rule for building C++ shared libraries (.so/.dll). Unlike the simple cc_binary(linkshared=1), it provides fine-grained dependency management, intelligently deciding which libraries should be statically linked into the shared library and which should be obtained through dynamic dependencies.
This blog provides an in-depth analysis of the cc_shared_library implementation to help you understand its internal workings.
