Yeah, I assumed that "sandbox" implied some smarter isolation technique closer to eg Linux namespaces instead of just app-v in a new shiny packaging. Nothing new for the malware-analysis use-case.

How detectable will it be? I doubt this will make the lives of malware analysts any easier.

I honestly don't see the problem. It's a different platform so it's got different quirks, that's just life. Having said that, I strongly prefer Linux's explicit shared object search paths and very user-friendly dyna

While binary size could certainly be a factor in a good deal of embedded environments, we also need to look at the resource requirements of the binary in question as well. Sqlite doesn't need too much more memory than what its binary n

There is nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. The Sqlite FAQ[1] even has an entry on it. Two things holding this back: 1. code being inside our outside sqlite would not be much different. 2. the amount of additional test code would

When you calculate the sum of the so-called "memory consumption" of all processes, you generally end up with a number ridiculously above your the amount of physical memory installed on your box. The only reliable way to learn the

Serialization format has no relation with schemas. Also, Schema validation can be as strict or lax as you want it to be. I wrote Spyne (in Python) mainly to abstract the schema from the serialization format. The protocols are totally plugga

Genuine question: Is there anything protecting us from an entirely new class of compiler bugs where the constexpr code and the compiled code behave differently? Is it at all possible?

Typical behavior when the OS is writing to the swap space to free some ram. If that ever happens again, you can run "free" on the terminal to see whether this is the case.
