The difference is that using STL containers such as std::string or std::vector are very much the default in C++ (much the same way ‘safe’ code is the default in Rust), whereas you have to do some manual work in C to get them. The result is

Oh, yes, sorry and now it’s too late to fix (both that and the horrible formatting). Though I suppose it would have been a compile-time error, so at least it shouldn’t be exploitable :')

If you can change the name_path struct to a standard STL data structure (std::vector<std::string> might work just fine), you can easily rewrite the function such that all memory allocation and all exploitable memory access is delegate

On the other hand, 2^565 is already slightly larger than 10^170. In other words, a couple of hydrogen atoms as quantum bits can perfectly well encode every possible position.

Interesting. So how would a reasonably new ARM core compare to this? The point is, the Xeon is definitely outdated and the Cortex A7 seems to be a little bit dusty as well, so…what exactly was the point of this comparison? Two CPUs from two

Wikipedia¹ lists a Cortex A7 „designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 2“. The Raspberry Pi 2 was released in 2015, so the CPU was released in 2015? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A7

That looks a lot like a standard 3.5" HDD case as found in many desktop computers with the Raspberry Pis possibly just lying in it? I might very well be wrong, but it looks a lot like e.g. http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx

Keep in mind that this Xeon (E5620) was released in 2010, whereas the Cortex A7-Quad seems to be from 2015? So it would be interesting to compare the ARM cluster against a comparably new Intel CPU (say Haswell or Broadwell); in my experienc

Well, if the first assumption doesn’t hold, we’ll have to restrict our usage even more. Short of dimming the sun, I don’t see how you can keep “all this carbon in atmosphere” and still only get 2°C.

Adding '\n' to the string is perfectly fine, no std::endl needed (\n translates to the system-specific newline and the stream is flushed on destruction anyways).
