In July 2025, Andrzej worked on stabilizing the build process for obsproject/obs-studio, focusing on compatibility with modern C++ toolchains. He addressed a build failure in OBSCanvas when compiling with Clang 20 and newer by refactoring the code to use std::unique_ptr<Canvas> instead of std::optional<Canvas>, ensuring compliance with stricter C++17 standards while preserving existing behavior. This change was validated across both GCC and Clang, reducing the risk of CI breakages and improving portability for contributors. Andrzej’s work demonstrated strong skills in C++, build systems, and compiler standards, delivering a targeted, low-risk solution to a complex compatibility issue.

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.
