I'm excited about the variety in topics covered, from hardware generation using mlir/llvm to C/C++ repls.

Come join us either in-person in Brussels, or online through the live-feed which will be available at fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Low-Level Software Security for Compiler Developers

Big thanks to Tarcisio Fisher for adding a new section on Use-After-Free (UaF) in the Low Level Software Security Book!

Check it out: llsoftsec.github.io/llsoftsecboo...

We’d love your thoughts β€” comment here or open an issue github.com/llsoftsec/ll...

We just significantly improved the explanation of control-flow integrity (CFI) in the Low Level Software Security Book, see llsoftsec.github.io/llsoftsecboo...

We’d love to hear your feedback β€” share your thoughts here or open an issue on github at github.com/llsoftsec/ll...

If you've got ideas, but you're not fully sure if they would be a good fit for the room, I'm more than happy to help you refine your abstract. Please don't be shy to reach out here or through one of my LLVM office hours llvm.org/docs/Getting.... Next one is this Wednesday at 9.30am CET.
