And is this situation any different from location logs based on mobile phone? It's obviously easier to leave s phone than a face at home, my point is that we have already pretty much agreed to be tracked most of the time.

If you are developing a compiler you will need to understand the output assembly. Learning to program in it is one way to get to know it. There is also plenty of little code snippets around run-time libraries and OS that are written directl

Even more than architectures, there seems to be a tiny little bit of spite in everything IT related from programming language design (C++) to end-user facing software (Windows Update).

Nim doesn't meet all his requirements, it's garbage-collected. Complexity is hard to measure and rather subjective, but Nim in my opinion seems to be more complex than Zig.

But still can be (and is) used to implement some features from the standard library.

In C obviously or you know, in inline assembly since it seems that it isn't going anywhere. But joking aside they could be implemented by the compilers similar to how std::function is implemented today.

It seems to be a joke, they would have serious problem with backward compatibility with "this" pointer. Also it would limit the use cases for the language, unless they would introduce something like std::raw_ptr, which to be hones

It really depends on the target architecture (and ABI), size of the struct and how fields in the struct are defined, more than if it's C or C++. For simple examples like this one: https://godbolt.org/g/ZT3bJ3 ther

I would say: yep, pretty much. Generally abusing "weaknesses" is considered evil, and the likeliness that something becomes considered a "weakness" seem to depend on how much damage can be done by abusing this trait.
