#c--

[laejoh]

Emacs provides a zap-to-char command that kills from the current point to a character. It is bound to ‘M-z’. Examples of its usage, include: ‘M-z e’deletes all characters to the next occurence of “e”. ‘C-u 2 M-z e’deletes all character to the second occurence of “e”. ‘C-- M-z e’deletes all characters to the previous occurence of “e”. ‘C-u -4 M-z e’deletes all character to the fourthprevious occurence of “e”. I always forget I can do 'C--' instead of 'C-u -1'! M is the alt key by the way, and C is the control key.

It's like ASSEMBLY but WITHOUT THE REGISTER ALLOCATION

Today, I was describing a problem I was having to Adam, and C-- came up. I described it as, "Like assembly, without the register allocation", and Adam said, "I would totally use that!" Of course, the key is that whatever it is it would have to work with the GCC compiler toolchain as seemlessly as inline assembly, and C-- doesn't exactly have that kind of support. But still, it's food for thought: it's easy to say that C-- and LLVM were in direct competition of the space of "lower than C intermediate representations", but LLVM doesn't really seem to fill this niche very well.
