No.

>modern CPU architectures like RISC-V provide no overflow traps

Irrelevant. Simplicity here is better than complexity.

Unless you're handwriting assembly, this is a compiler's job.

It is safe to assume that at least one actual Arch developer was compromised by this.

The followup attack on Arch itself is not going to be pretty.

>RISC-V is inevitable

RISC-V is inevitable

>And its time certainly "starts" now.

RISC-V is rapidly growing the strongest ecosystem.

>RISC-V is still too slow

The list of purposes for which this is true is shrinking.

That new SpacemiT K3 chip with RVA23 compatibility that started shipping last month is certainly impressive.

The Swiss can choose what they want for their country. If they don't want immigrants, so be it.

This is proper Democracy.

It is not RISC-V.

We aren't so naive as to move from a locked IP ISA like x86 to another locked IP ISA such as ARM.

Right?

We do not know what the authors' goal is.

At best, we can make the guess: They chose the license that best fits their interests.

The ne5532 is not an awesome part by any means.

It is a decent part, and an extremely popular one found in loads of designs.

There's the saying anything you hear has passed through a pack of those before reaching your ears.

This is why it is so bad for TI to change the specs without changing the part number.
