Fefe is quite the character (his coding style aside) and has done plenty of worthy projects. He's ostensibly quite controversial though for his ardent positions

  He also has problems understanding compilers that are adhering to the standards: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30475 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30475

    Wow reading that was painful. Not a good way to get people interested in your projects either when you have behavior like that on a bug report.

      It was eight years ago; maybe he's learned how to accept correction more peacefully since then.

        Trust me, he hasn't.

    "You know that the Ariane 5 rocket crashed (and could have killed people!) because of an int overflow? What if people die because you decided the C standard allows you to optimize away other people's security checks?" Sounds reasonable to me. As a security consultant, it's important for his work and his moral duty. Think of the children ;-) That integer overflow is undefined in the standard also doesn't make it go away. Integers overflow everywhere. It simply means that the details of it are not part of the standard. The new behavior he's complaining about is not any more standards-conforming than the previous one.
