The poll on the "What is this?" page is pretty stupid. Legal Poll: Is it illegal to walk into someone else's home uninvited if the door is wide open? No door, no locks, no guard dog, no "no trespassers" sign at all.

Oh you're right. I glanced at the spec and saw that it defined build metadata as [0-9A-Za-z-] but didn't realize that it was actually defining this as a dot-separated series of components where each component was [0-9A-Za-z-].

I would suggest putting it in the "build metadata" section then. If you're already putting a commit hash there, you can use the hyphen to separate it, like. 1.5.4+build123-b5bb9d80

SemVer calls it a pre-release identifier but you can in fact put anything you want in there that matches the syntactic rules, so you could just use your build id as a pre-release identifier. Or as the build id field, if you're not alre

Overwriting the heap is pointless if you immediately crash due to hitting the guard page(s). The point is to move the stack pointer without actually writing anything, so you can then write what you want into the heap without crashing. The 2

You're not supposed to use the array, it's just supposed to exist on the stack. I'm not sure how to ensure the stack space isn't reclaimed; maybe we can do something with declaring it up top, then putting the `if` that

You might be able to hack it by saying something like let huge_ary: [u8; 2097152]; if false_value_compiler_cant_prove_is_false { huge_ary = [0; 2097152]; } // hopefully huge_ary has reserved space on the stack despit

Rust isn't going to just silently move the pointed-to data in something like Box<[u8; 32]>. It looks like the point of Pinned is to protect against operations like swap() that would move the pointed-to data, but the point here is

I'm not particularly familiar with Pinned but the documentation on std::pin suggests it prevents moving data, not copying data (and is primarily designed around enabling self-referential structs).

This is almost certainly due to the car trying to use the old iPod control protocol to tell your device to play. AFAIK that protocol just talks to the Music app, but it's also been obsolete for years.
