"Quite frankly, if you do this, you should be shot. "
Ah, yes. No comment from Torvalds is complete without a gratuitous ad hominem.
- falcolas 11y agoTo be fair, he's referring to the code `sizeof(*p)->reference`, in which case I'd probably shoot the writer too.

- loup-vaillant 11y agoThis is not an ad hominem argument. This is merely blowing things out of proportion. This would be ad hominem (and non-sequitur): "You're watching dancing bunnies, and you dare suggest we should remove the parens after sizeof?" Attack on the person (watching dancing bunnies), used to discredit an unrelated opinion (parens after sizeof).
