After losing access to rEFInd yet again (Windows 10 Anniversary Edition), I was able to find the proper invocation of BCDEdit thanks to a helpful person on StackOverflow. None of the Microsoft documentation mentions this, but you NEED single quotes around {bootmgr} for sure if you are in the PowerShell shell, but possibly also if you are in the Command Prompt. This allowed me to add a new entry for rEFInd and I've had to do this multiple times so I know it works on Windows 10.

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi

becomes

bcdedit /set '{bootmgr}' path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi

Profiling performance

Using perf:

$ perf record -g binary
$ perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | rust-unmangle | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg

NOTE: See @GabrielMajeri's comments below about the -g option.

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?
