and what if I wrote a compiler that doesn't heed any of your security concerns? It would still compile to machine code and continue to be able to exploit things

and what if I wrote a compiler that doesn't heed any of your security concerns? It would still compile to machine code and continue to be able to exploit things Spectre/Meltdown style? Or am I off here?
- XorNot 9y agoI think the idea is you just never accept foreign machine code.
- gumby 9y agoIf I were taking this approach I might not even tell you the instruction set of the machine, so your compiler wouldn’t be useful.
- white-flame 9y agoYou'd only be able to run it on your system. At least, without other means of breaching the low level secured configuration of someone else's machine, because that's where the One True Compiler for that system lives.
