By the way, probably the scariest #batch (.bat) script you've ever seen in your life, this is gnt.bat (built from #opensource project #GetNuTool), check out its contents:

👻 booo or not too booo ?

Anniversary update #GetNuTool 1.10 is rolled out 🛢
New modes (install, run, touch, get, grab, pack), custom scripts, improves security, and became even more compact in .bat (batch) edition (7.87 KB); and …

GetNuTool is important part for .NET #DllExport, #hMSBuild, #netfx4sdk, #7zLibs,… #opensource

Past week, 3F's assembler #ILAsm 9.4 + #DllExport 1.8.1 are rolled out with PDB support MSF/BSJB and minor improvements & fixes

I also drafted `dotnet build` support but… time to focus on other projects such as #Conari to release lighter modules due to reduced ton of delegates; +more as #opensource

In May I wanted to do manual parsing of info about lines from the classic PDB (MSF) for 3F's assembler as part of planned #DllExport 1.8.1 #dotnet

just because it is difficult to achieve functionality from an archive microsoft-pdb repo when obviously not all the code is published (and never will); but also understanding the huge amount of structures under the PDB/MSF is a real zen …

Well… in the end I will most likely take LLVM implementation 🤔
#opensource 👌

*almost,
I mean I have some other drafts for DllExport in my local branches like ILMerge -> ILRepack for Pre-Proc but that's a little later;

Because I don't really want to delete the obsolete ILMerge because ILRepack about two+ times slower (no log, +/- parallel) than ILMerge -_-

I think the best way to give the user the choice between ILMerge/ILRepack from the wizard for the case like this.

etc.

.NET DllExport repo got *almost latest fixes and changes to the upcoming 1.8 release

This week I also started reviewing of my version of IL assembler on coreclr in order to improve my old rebasing or like. But first I need to merge the latest dotnet changes etc:

*dotnet team cut off a lot of things like cvtres res-obj processing and so on but I already had my own implementation around SDK and some other things; so ...

I'll try to finish it asap for #DllExport 1.8 my hope for January -_-

At least mathematically, L-Mul (arXiv) has very similar key principles as LX4Cnh (github/3F)

I did not have time to describe the full beauty of my idea mathematically due to the diversity and abundance of problems in my life, you know.
However, there are working test implementations from 2021, and they are already used in implementations on hashing algorithms.

You can play with them at your leisure.
There are implementations in cpp and csharp. Welcome to compare it! #algorithms #math

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:30:32 +0000

Btw, just noticed that the new L-Mul algorithm (arXiv) looks suspiciously like mine LX4Cnh / MLnoCS

https://github.com/3F/LX4Cnh
LX4Cnh basically only handles addition, subtraction, and shifts, allowing you to multiply LARGE and extra LARGE numbers in just a few nanoseconds.

100+ times faster than classical multiplication!

But I developed it 3 years earlier, in July 2021

The summer was an unbearably difficult test for me. I mean even more in addition. I am very exhausted physically, very busy, very tired, but as always I am driven by an incredible love for developing and designing anything.

So I will continue as best I can, little by little, well, I am not in the right place, and not in the right position to make ambitious plans or even to care about myself, but yeah, let's move on.

~ I plan to resume the DllExport in October-November

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 11:13:21 +0000

I'm delayed again. I'm Sorry.
The last person close to me has cancer.

I haven't eaten or slept much for the last week; I'm a little too tired to just think properly.
Still not good at planning due to endless problems. But as always, I'm trying to do everything in my power that depends on me.

Perhaps soon I will still try to prepare something from what was announced; there are drafts; but ... don't know anything at all, again. Just keep this in mind. Thanks.

n. the idea of some optional boxed solutions makes sense and does not go against #opensource or my principles in any way;
however, a lot has happened to me in recent years and I would first restore my health and environment (one is more important than the other) and … if I even will start something like this. But the modern problems in the overall situation here as a software developer are growing too … it's beyond my strength, you know (there was my long post on reddit, FYI)

Sat, 04 May 2024 23:05:25 +0000

As a recent example, in March I received a proposal to close the #DllExport source code for my announced improvements/fixes/support for modern #dotnet etc.
Everything possible to switch to commercial model for future changes that's what was meant.

Well, that actually makes sense.

But I have always been true to my principles regarding bribery or anything like.

My .NET DllExport project has been and will be #opensource. Enjoy!

Sat, 04 May 2024 22:54:38 +0000

*in all senses…
Currently .NET #DllExport has the largest audience according to my modest OSS. But this is the strangest audience I've ever seen.

I mean, I do DllExport absolutely at my own expense;
(n. many thanks to everyone who has donated before! I have always valued responsibility & consciousness in people; I myself also try to support in every way I could)
But there has been nothing from anyone since Dec 2019(correct me) but requests are still coming including insults or funniest ever :)

Sat, 04 May 2024 22:46:13 +0000

🐌 So, let's crawl on ...

~ May-June I will try to switch to a distressful* project .NET #DllExport you know …
But first there will be a short patch release for #vsSolutionBuildEvent to fix several bugs with caching projects and caching generated modules for scripts

Sat, 04 May 2024 22:41:32 +0000

As you may have already noticed, April 29, #MvsSln 2.7 was released.

2.7 has received very important fixes in handlers as well as an improved data generation model by being able to merge the map and the skeleton; and other nice little things like async for SlnWriter including legacy netfx4.0 tfm. By the way, I updated wiki a little; read at your leisure 📖

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:03:10 +0000

but, by the way, I also fixed long-standing inconveniences with w/r handlers (illustrated long ago in q&a) before it. Changes are already in the #MvsSln repo with updated tests; enjoy

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 23:47:35 +0000

already two of my personal laptops 💻 have been physically broken 🔌 in the last 3 months; I'm too lucky as always <_<

in other words:
all announced fixes and changes for #MvsSln (current on my list) and other will be delayed a bit since I actually have nothing on which to continue development until I fix it or buy a new one (after which I'll need to fix myself >_>)

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 14:59:26 +0000

ah yes, in 0.2 I had to use #Conari to fix requests to hostfxr using legacy netcoreapp platforms because I kept having weird behavior for this host when original preload does not work at all (in fact it successfully loads the module into memory, but...)

But even Conari (that supports automatic marshaling) I had to use its NativeString/WCharPtr because of weird processing Xunit host + IeXod

am I missing something o_0
left for later 🍴

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 14:39:22 +0000

#IeXod 0.2 got basic Tasks support and new Evaluation Expander to use a new/unknown (yet for IeXod engine) MSBuild static functions $([MSBuild]::…
+also important fixes in the Import expanding; property evaluations; and even more fallbacks;

Future versions will focus on supporting more platforms because this is exactly what is needed for #MvsSln and other related;
… but it seems more relevant to go for a quick fix #MvsSln and #DllExport opensource projects before it o_o

fun fact ~ got received on 02 Feb my personal invite code to Bluesky via email; just 4 days before "became open to all public on 6 Feb"
noticed today on 9th when trying to test it … so, yep, … love to play with mastodon 🐘🐘🐘 yet
