Oh, I wouldn't have thought to submit the report without filling that in. The console has: "service error: RpcError" The POST hangs up before it completes, and it seems to be because the JS can't lift a auth token for my

Plenty of dime novels published with AI as well. Resulting in a depressed fiction marketplace, where people are even more hesitant to buy from an unknown author.

The -S argument to env splits the argument on whitespace. The shell doesn't support anything, it just passes the string to env. So beware quoting and other delimiters that won't work the way you expect.

Anything around DirectX 10 and older has issues with Windows, these days. One more popular example is Grid 2, another is Morrowind. Both crash on launch, unless you tweak a lot of things, and even then it won't always succeed. Need for

If the function is equivalent to a no-op, and not explicitly marked as volatile for side-effects, it absolutely can elide it. If there is a side-effect in hardware or wider systems like the OS, then it must be marked as volatile. If the cod

Dev mode flags at paranoid level, so I'm almost certain it would. The developers of this app would have it turned off during debug builds, and on during release, so would be fine.

They flag "sideloading" - or anything installed by anything outside of their store. They don't always flag it. Only when SafeNet is set to paranoid levels. However, sideloading is considered a risk for some reason. Even if si

In C, malloc and free used to often be macros. As they're freely replaceable through loading, and designed for that, I would strongly suggest that are among the most magical areas of the C standard. We get a whole section for those in

Using pragmas, attributes and optimisation guarantees is the point of implementation-defined behaviour in the first place. The Linux kernel extensively uses gcc extensions. That doesn't inherently make it insecure.

Tree shaking is pretty standard. Optimising out the write sounds fine to me - with the exception of a volatile pointer. That, there, is a mistake.

Whilst the C standard doesn't guarantee it, both LLVM and GCC _do_. They have implementation-defined that it will work, so are not free to optimise it away. [0] https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-memset-intrin

However, if you recast to volatile, the compiler will keep it: #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> void free(void* ptr); void not_free(void* ptr); void test_with_free(char* ptr) { ptr[5] = 6;

I think the CSS support for that has finally landed, though it means targetting a pseudo element instead. Its been a year, so support is probably good enough you don't care if just the animation doesn't happen. https://
