For some reason Chromium 81 is not able to handle this PDF. Works fine on MuPDF, though.

Could somebody in the know please say if this BURS stuff is used in, e.g., GCC or Clang or LLVM? Or maybe something else that might be familiar?



The issue with BURS is that lookup tables can be 10s to 100s of MB. Most code generators will use dynamic programming, but hybrids have been considered: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1133255.1133988 (Fast and flexible instruction selection with on-demand tree-parsing automata)


I expected the typical kerning/typesetting issues.

I want to note that it straight-up crashes Chromium's PDF reader.


Interesting... Chrome on macOS seems fine with it here.
