> I've seen a bug in handle convert function* in Warcraft 3 that resulted in bunch of maps, some singleplayer, some coop, some MP that lead to crashes (E can't find much material about it). Crashes that didn't cause a lot of damage. Using a language like Rust could add way more overhead than it's worth. The GP's point was that some applications just don't require complete safety, a crash or two won't kill anyone (which could happen literally in a hospital computer for example).

> Crashes that didn't cause a lot of damage. Update. Crashes and RCE in fanmade maps. Looking at https://wc3we.fandom.com/wiki/Jass_Coding https://wc3we.fandom.com/wiki/Jass_Coding I found a reference to the bug being fixed in 1.24. And tracking that down lead to: https://gaming-tools.com/warcraft-3/patch-1-24/ https://gaming-tools.com/warcraft-3/patch-1-24/ One of the errors fixed: > Bug Fix: Fixed an __exploit that allowed users to execute arbitrary code__ in Warcraft 3 Funmaps. > Bug Fix: Fixed several World Editor crashes. > New JASS has table functions have been added to the Warcraft 3 World Editor, to fix unsafe type casting.(Save Item Handle, Unit Handle, Load Item Handle, Load Unit Handle, Get Handle ID). EDIT: I was right originally, game error in modded games can lead to horrible exploits.
