dear open source project developers, did you know that you can use ninja with MSVC. it's actually very easy to pass the -G Ninja flag and then the build can actually utilise all the available CPU cores and display a running progress report too 😭
holy shit it's SO much faster jesus christ
using MSBuild to build a project with LLVM as a dependency might be a violation of the Geneva conventions???
this is how the CPU utilisation graph is supposed to look
in the interests of the reduction of human suffering and for the protection of the environment, i think the windows build of cmake should ship with ninja and use it by default
@hikari ... What if I tell you I abused C# AOT to run homebrew in C# on the Switch once? That involved LLVM too so I guess I'm also violating the Geneva conventions teehee
@hikari At one point on my defunct plumber guy emulator, we had plans to write full system modules in C# and also run them on the original hardware
@hikari building LLVM is slow enough even when it is using all my CPU cores, I don’t want to think about how slow it would be if it was limited
