From the exploit code: memset(&serv_addr, '0', sizeof(serv_addr)); That doesn't seem to be correct. The digit character 0 is not the same as the null character ('\0'). Just write 0 or use `struct sockad

I don't think so. There are some other mails (like https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=142563704303304&w=2 ), but I also think now I should've used a different quote.

I agree, but I don't think mentioning such an exception is a good idea. That's basically the same reason why gets() is part of ISO C90 and C99. Just call snprintf() even in such cases and forget about sprintf(). From http:/&

Not really true (this is about C's predecessor B): Thompson went a step further by inventing the ++ and -- operators, which increment or decrement; their prefix or postfix position determines whether the alteration occurs before or aft

There also some tools I think should be added: I'm not sure if linking to AddressSanitizer is okay (as its (an underused) part of Clang and GCC), but I consider include-what-you-use, unifdef, and maybe C++ Compiler Explorer a worthwhil

It's a bit off-topic, but is there a reason to still use the original MinGW and not MinGW-w64? The list only mentions the original one. I also didn't know that GNU refers to the MIT license as Expat license. The list also links to

The full sentence is: >MRI executes Ruby via an interpreted stack-machine bytecode language known as YARV (Yet Another Ruby VM) bytecode. So YARV is a Ruby VM that has instructions and bytecode. Are you still confused?

Can you link to specific examples? I'm currently not taking your word for it. The file has comments. Maybe too few and too terse for you, but that isn't what you've said. Yes, some buffers are stack-allocated, but what's

Disliking omitting braces or really short names is just a matter of taste (however both is classic C coding style), but you can easily find out what they store without comments or a longer name. I personally would have chosen l instead of x

What are your issues with it? That the variable names are not descriptive enough to be understood when the code is taken out of context? That the if-substatements aren't compound statements? The last line? What would you have done inst
