"Just switch the compiler", they said.
Arne Mertz
On Day 1 at 14:30 (CET/Berlin) in Track C [Jade Room and online]
In projects that run over longer time, change is inevitable, and at some point the toolchain starts to look old and rusty compared to what is available elsewhere. "Let's just switch the compiler" is a phrase that is muttered quickly but can have multiple consequences. In this talk, I discuss the risks and pitfalls of switching to a new compiler as experienced in different projects, as well as the benefits beyond getting access to shiny new language features. The talk will also cover some thoughts and experiences of mitigating those risks.
