I know this isn't the (main) take away message, but it does make me feel a little better about some errors I've made in the past to know that even heavily vetted code can have these types of errors.
- CasimirCelerity 14y agoI don't know if this code would qualify as "heavily vetted." Thor Lancelot Simon wrote it himself and imported it himself into the tree for NetBSD v6 and onwards. Probably hasn't seen that many eyes for review.
- jimktrains2 14y agoI just assumed kernel code would have at least someone else looking over it before it's merged in.
- sliverstorm 14y agoMaybe it does, but they won't be looking for misplaced parens.
- asveikau 14y agoBecause in kernel mode it's impossible to make (and subsequently gloss over) simple mistakes? This hasn't been my experience.
