- skywhopper 6y agoIs it clear that the “dark bytes” are “useless” debug information? It sounds like it’s just stuff not in the symbol table.
- tyingq 6y agoI did keep waiting for some point in the blog post where they would null out the "dark bytes" and see if/how the binary runs.
- jeffbee 6y agoIt won't. If you try to remove this information your program will crash as soon as the GC runs or someone calls systemstack, i.e. pretty much instantly.
