So at the bottom of the article the author points to bugzillas for GCC and LLVM, and points out that compilers actually do have bugs. It feels like an admission that the title is really just for attracting clicks, and that the first para of

Interesting; I might poke around at Ledger. Recently I just wanted to see what I was spending money on in a few simple graphs graphs, and so hacked together some python and matplotlib: https://github.com/amboar/fpos . f

This is exactly how I work as well. My feeling is the only way to truely understand a piece of code is to try solve the problem yourself and not simply read someone else's solution. But, half the battle is then understanding _every pr

Sure, so long as the bug is a genuine bug and not a misunderstanding. Debian's openssh valgrind warning springs to mind. Crypto implementations can be subtle and non obvious. Maybe it's crap design for that reason, but it seems li

I don't know what the gp's skills are, but assuming he's not a computer security professional then the 'other people should do this' club is exactly the club he should be in. Would you trust his audit of the code i

I've been thinking about this a lot recently after discussing the merits of code review against design review for software. My opinion very much aligns with the article, and I've started drafting blog posts/essays describing

Not to detract from the interesting difference between pointers and unbounded arrays in a struct, but get_at() is surely broken. It looks like the condition uses the wrong inequality: int get_at(const struct foo_t *foo, int pos) { retur
