minus-squareFizzyOrange@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·4 days ago this is about non-generic code in generic header. (a << 16) | b is about the most generic code you can get. How is that remotely RISC-V specific?
minus-squarezygo_histo_morpheus@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·4 days agoMaking a u32 pointer from to u16’s isn’t a generic operation because it has to make assumptions about how the pointers work (in particular what endianess they have)
minus-squareFizzyOrange@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoWhat makes you think it’s making a pointer? Nobody said anything about that.
