i would like to get the ball rolling on stabilizing as many of the pointer APIs that were introduced in the last year

APIs:

Bloodstained Movement Tech Glossary

Some movement tech that's worth knowing about. Don't get discouraged if you don't know all the tech, routes win races!

For brevity, the speed of options will be described like "2x the speed of holding forward". i.e. if it takes 10 seconds to cross a room by holding forward, taking 5 seconds is "2x".

Chains

Certain movement options can be rapidly chained together, especially when you learn to cancel them.

STS Rules

Clang and GCC disagree on the ABI of __int128 (and its various unsigned/_t variants) on x64 linux (at least).

The issue is that when pushing __int128 to the stack, clang only aligns to 8, even though in structs it's aligned to 16. This causes Clang and GCC to disagree on the offset for by-value __int128 arguments that need padding to be 16-aligned.

The following function signature demonstrates this in practice:

void i128_val_in_0_perturbed_small(
 uint8_t arg0,

Building GeckoView on WSL(2) basically works out of the box like building it natively on Linux with mach.

Running your build is the real issue.

You generally have two options for running:

Run GeckoView in an emulator
Run GeckoView natively on a phone

Trying to launch an emulator is likely to run into KVM errors, although apparently this has been fixed in the latest versions of Windows 11 (haven't confirmed).
