The word that I have seen in similar contexts is 'trusted', which I like and would have preferred -- the block has extra privileges and isn't machine verified. Some people tend to give 'trusted' an opposite reading when they first come across it, though.
- mehrdadn 9y agoOh yeah, 'trusted' would definitely give the opposite of the intended meaning! I had to read your comment twice just to get why you were calling it that.
- lmkg 9y agoThe problem with that word is it doesn't say who is doing the trusting, which is the crucial point. In fact, "trusted" can be used to describe both safe code and unsafe code. In the safe code, the programmer is trusting the compiler. In unsafe code, the compiler is trusting the programmer. Both code environments are "trusted," but the trust is being given to different parties.
