Powered by AI: A Cambrian Explosion for C++ Software Development Tools - Emery Berger - CppCon 2023
Discover how AI integration is revolutionizing C++ software development tools, including a Cambrian Explosion of new capabilities, debugging innovations, and future prospects in AI-powered compiler integration.
- C++ software development tools can benefit greatly from AI integration, leading to a potential Cambrian Explosion in tool development.
- The presented debugger, ChatDBG, interacts with GDB and LLDB debuggers, providing root cause analysis, suggesting fixes, and explaining why specific fixes were proposed.
- The chat system only requires a connection to OpenA.I. and a 3-50 cent payment.
- Limitations of the technology can be overcome by using static compilation or native libraries to eliminate debugging and optimization issues.
- Cyber is a tool that runs scripts through OpenA.I., giving instant feedback on code modifications and can rewrite code to use alternative design patterns.
- Scalene, an optimizer for Python, can run cycles of searching for tests and verify equivalence, and can do that 90x faster using the proposed AI-powered system.
- Cy is a tool for creating stream-friendly code, and was mentioned in the context of optimizing a system by using a fluent API over classic API.
- ROPING IN TIME-TRAVEL DEBUGGING and the future of AI-powered compiler integration.
- The speaker discussed exploiting a niche in the field using native libraries and leveraging the compilation to understand source code.
- The audience consists of mostly 1% of C++ developers, and the field can become more efficient as automation continues.
- The speaker and other authors are working on expanding Cy into an actual chat debugging process.
