This stark contrast highlights the superior battery efficiency of ARM64 architecture, leading the author to consider an ARM motherboard upgrade for their Framework. Despite this issue, the author still loves the Framework's modular design, but the poor battery life significantly impacts usability.

compile_flagz: Boosting C/C++ IDE Support in Zig Build Systems

2025-09-13

Zig's build system offers powerful cross-compilation capabilities for C/C++ projects, but editor support often lags due to missing include paths. compile_flagz addresses this by generating a `compile_flags.txt` file, a standard format used by language servers like clangd. This file provides the necessary compilation settings, enabling features like code completion and error highlighting. The author details its usage and implementation, showcasing its effectiveness in a game decompilation project (ROLLER). A quick start guide is also provided.
