Funny enough, nobody posted the link to the article that says "70% of bugs are memory issues" (or something like that) yet.
- Black101 5y agoThere's no way that's true... maybe 70% of bugs that crash your computer though.
- TwoBit 5y ago"memory issue" seems overly broad or vague.
- lamontcg 5y ago70% of all security fixes Microsoft releases are memory safety bugs. https://news.hitb.org/content/microsoft-70-percent-all-security-bugs-are-memory-safety-issues https://news.hitb.org/content/microsoft-70-percent-all-secur... This isn't a security issue, NASA isn't Microsoft, and physically degraded memory isn't the same as a memory safety programming bug. I'll certainly bet that article is super popular with the rust crowd though.
- steveklabnik 5y agoThat article specifically is popular with the Rust crowd, yes, but moreover, that roughly that number (70%-80%) has been replicated by a multiple big tech companies, not just Microsoft. Chrome was another large name. (And yes you're right none of this has to do with this stuff, for sure.)
