Generics and Protocol Buffers: The Hackage Years
· 3 min read

Quite a few people have been asking about a follow up to an old post, specifically on dealing with passing return values on the stack from our C/LLVM based primop. I ended up with some unexpected free time today on the Caltrain waiting for a crushed tractor-trailer to get cleared off the tracks and dusted off a semi-functional feed parser in the style of Tsuru’s code sample. Sample data for is much easier to find than NASDAQ’s ITCH feed, I hope it’s also easier for you to get started with.
