That's a human problem, not a Christian problem. Cultures around the world enabled slavery.

Christians and their faith lead the slavery prohibition movement. I don't know the history of the other things you mentioned.

C++'s std::shared_ptr<T> is not at all like Rust's Rc<T>. std::shared_ptr<T> is more like Arc<T> or Arc<Box<T>> depending on the deleter. Also, your Rust example uses -O (which is -C opt-level=2

dlltool generates implibs. quick-lint-js has a .def -> .lib build step in its CMake build system. I'd say this is a form of compilation.

You're right. I should have written 'Hypothesis', not 'Conclusion', for that line. EDIT: I corrected the article. The statement is correct though. The bug was specific to Windows x64 builds when compiled with GCC-Mi

Interesting. I've heard of GCC doing this and breaking multi-threaded code, but not breaking single-threaded code. I'm curious. Can you share the bug report?
