>It all seems very brittle, though. And that something has gone very wrong with our ecosystem of tools, languages, and processes when it becomes advisable to massage source until specific passes in a specific version LLVM don't mess things up for other passes.

I would say the main takeaway is actually to not do that, precisely because it's brittle, difficult to understand, and can backfire by making things harder for the compiler. As I point out at the end, the vast majority of developers will be better served by sticking to common idioms and making their intent as clear as possible using language facilities, rather than trying to outsmart the compiler or, conversely, relying excessively on the optimiser as a magic black box.

That being said, I do find it helpful to understand the broad strokes of the optimisation pipeline (things like "callees are optimised before callers", "maintaining invariants enables more simplifications", or "early simplifications are better") to make the most of it. Like with any other tool, mastery means letting it do its job most of the time but knowing when and where to step in if necessary.

Unfortunately there's also still no agreement on what 5G will actually be, what technologies it will entail, or how it will be deployed. Of course, since none of this is defined yet, there are also no guarantees on what performance will be achievable in practice.

The industry will need to solve this issue long before 5G is widespread. The solution will likely involve DSRC, C-V2X, or LTE-V/LTE Direct, which are tailored for the vehicular communication use case (involving both vehicle-to-vehicle [V2V] and vehicle-to-infrastructure [V2I]). It's unlikely a single technology will be able to handle all the challenges of a V2X scenario (highly mobile nodes, congestion, low SNR, requirements for sub-millisecond connection times), and so a second connection management layer will have to be built on top of multiple existing PHYs to enable simultaneous low-latency, high-throughput, and secure communications.

(Note that the linked article is actually about in-vehicle communication, however.)

Use "-C -" to tell curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out.
