Nitpick... The patreon states $2500 per month, but article mentions per year

Thanks - good spot Aditya. Now fixed.

A couple of typos: you've misspelled "Matt Godbolt" (it's not "Goldbolt") in the article. The last name is the same as the domain name.

Oh my goodness, I am so embarrassed. My autocorrect seems to have gone rogue. I'm so sorry! Typos are not my strong point but this is the worst.

And if it's not clear : Thank you so much for a unbelievably brilliant project !!!!

There will be a - sadly at the moment, small - donation making its way to the project at the end of the week. I'll be rounding it up to 100% of the new annual subs.

Thank you! This is a great overview of all things CE, and the donation is very much appreciated :)

One other thing; the costs you put as "$2000 per year"; it's around $2500 a month currently. I post about this on my patreon.

Thanks so much. I'll update the reference to the costs and add a reference in the article so people can see the latest values.

So glad you added -O1 in the middle of this post ... those initial samples were horrible code on all the CPUs, not really interesting. The RISC-V blowup was spectacular and unrepresentative of real use.

You're right. The original motivation was to show generated code that was more than trivial so that readers would be motivated to investigate but, as you say the RISC-V one was a bit much, to say the least.

Your email had the URL gotbolt.org, which took me to a dark place.

I'm very sorry indeed about that - won't manually type url's again.

Love this article! Awesome level of detail about a really awesome...tool? I can think of multiple uses for CE so I'm not sure it's fair to label it that way. Either way, it's a pretty awesome site! Keep up the fantastic articles!

Thanks so much Matt! I agree 'tool' doesn't do CE justice at all.
