That line allocates nothing. The function is their version of explicit_bzero(). The line casts an existing pointer passed in (e.g. pointing to something on the stack, or allocated by you) to a volatile pointer, which prevents the compiler

Other than the meta-answer that the game designers made it that way, or that you may need to farm kills for something in future, there is also the Zerg Rush answer: some creatures are literally bred to swarm their enemies, that's how

I think we're just seeing different sides of the same coin. Go's idiomatic code would be: user_is_valid := validate_user(u) i.e. you have no special handling needed, it fits anywhere. You don't even know async is or

by amiga386 5mo ago
I think you're missing something. Go's functions are all blue , not all red. As far as I know, the callers of async functions with Rust's Tokio and C#'s Tasks themselves need to be async; not the case for Go. Concurre

You jest, but a central feature of C is that void* is a universal pointer, and can be used as the basis of polymorphism and context passing. That's why you can do things like: void qsort(void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,

I get that it's defined that way, but I'd really like to know why. I can see the value in saying that struct x* isn't compatible with struct y*, because they could have different alignment or packing rules. But struct x* and

by amiga386 5mo ago
Tell me why struct* is incompatible with void* when it's such a standard case in C that you don't need a cast: struct foo *x = malloc(sizeof(struct foo)); /* malloc returns void* */ Or rather, tell me why the C1

Can anyone explain why this is undefined behaviour? UBSan calls it "indirect call of a function through a function pointer of the wrong type" struct foo {int i;}; int func(struct foo *x) {return x->i;} int main()

That's a very visible Ken Thompson style attack. The modern expectation is that PyPI would be evaluating this build-system section and would only accept build-systems that they trust to turn package distributions into wheels, and the

That appears to be an exploitable feature of the language, not the package manager per se. We could then add the philosophical question of asking what's the difference between: 1. Adding malicious code to a package's .pth file tha
