fascinating write up. Is it normal for wifi-drivers to have such an enormous code base? like, nearly 700k loc? And how much of it is generated code? I'd love any links to stuff on this if anyone has them and time to post, thanks.
- w-ll 9y agoGenerated code can really build up quick. And that's not taking into account the transformations from higher level languages down to op codes. I use a lot of code gen and some projects I manage ~50k loc which can balloon to 10x that. The exploits i'd bet are still in the human written weird stuff and not unfolded loops and boring setters/getters.
