For instance, because you are prohibited from passing NULL to e.g. memcpy and lots of other library functions from memory.h/string.h, even when you explicitly specify a size of 0. Another use was to use it to mint unique cookies/a

There was GNU Hurd in development at the time (which is actually a microkernel), with the first public release in 1990. Needless to say, it never amounted to much.

Ignoring the escape sequences a terminal doesn't understand, or doesn't want to deal with is explicitly allowed (required, even) by the ECMA-48 standard. And DECHDL is not "standard" by any means.

The main problem is not even if the terminal itself can track the grapheme width "correctly". It's a) the fonts suck; b) does the terminal user tracks the width correctly? About a): some fonts have the glyphs for e.g. the pla

Oooh, there is an "-MP" flag, which does... something? Anyway, it's all just a gigantic hack at this point: if we defer to gcc to figure out the accurate dependencies anyway, why do we even use make in the first place? I mean

I know I can do that. But it's fiddly, and doesn't really save time for small to medium projects: on small projects, full recompilation is fast enough that the time to regularly re-run "gcc -MMD" is actually noticeable

Almost all modern-ish languages are sensitive to whitespace, you can't write e.g. "voidfunc(intx){return0;}" in C. In fact, I don't think there is any other space-insensitive language except from early versions of FORTRA

You know, for small-ish C projects I found that the easiest way to handle "which .h files do the .c files depend on" question is to just say "on all of them". SOURCE_FILES := $(wildcard $(SRC_DIR)/*.c) HEA

So? You seem to be missing the minor premise in your comment which explains how having the knowledge of the program's inner workings translates into putting you in charge of deciding how to sand box it. In fact I'd argue it's
