Worked on stabilizing the build process for obsproject/obs-studio by addressing compatibility issues with modern C++ toolchains. Focused on resolving a build failure in OBSCanvas when compiling with Clang 20 and newer, the solution involved refactoring code to replace std::optional<Canvas> with std::unique_ptr<Canvas> in accordance with stricter C++17 standards. This approach preserved existing runtime behavior while improving portability and reducing the risk of CI breakages. The fix was validated across both GCC and Clang, demonstrating proficiency in C++, build systems, and compiler standards, and contributed to smoother onboarding for contributors using up-to-date development environments.

Jul 1, 2025In July 2025, focused on stabilizing OBS Studio's build across modern toolchains. Key feature/bug fix delivered: OBSCanvas Clang 20+ Build Compatibility by replacing std::optional<Canvas> with std::unique_ptr<Canvas> to align with stricter C++17 standards while preserving behavior. Verified with GCC and Clang. The change reduces build failures on newer compilers and improves portability of OBSCanvas. Impact: smoother onboarding for contributors using newer toolchains; reduces risk of CI breakages; maintains runtime behavior. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++17, smart pointers, modern C++ standard adherence, cross-compiler validation, code refactoring with minimal surface area, CI integration.
