Internally, is AEAD just using the "usual" ciphers, digests, and PRNGs, just making sure to combine them in the right way? If so, are all AEAD "ciphers" the same, just with different sub-primitives plugged in?

And yet, there is a good chance that C++ will start doing exactly this [1]. Because [2]: > The performance impact is negligible (less that 0.5% regression) to slightly positive (that is, some code gets faster by up to 1%). The code size

Infamously, this is also why Ariane 501 blew up. (a component being reused in a new context where a contract is broken, not bad CUPS drivers)

I interpret "don't allow unintialized locals when declared" as meaning that this call: int n = scanf("%d %d %d", &x, &y, &z); Would be caught, because it takes references to undeclared variables

It strikes me that we could have a way to reflectively create an object from values for all its fields in a single step - similar to what record constructor does, but for any class (could even be Class::getCanonicalConstructor, returning a

Not in my experience. I run my applications with default integrity, and when i hit a problem, i find out what caused it, and fix it. Often it's just a matter of upgrading a library to a newer version which doesn't do naughty refle

My guess is that it tries to decode the malloc metadata, which involves chasing pointers, and doesn't do enough sanity checking, so if a process accidentally or deliberately sets up corrupt metadata, atop will dereference an invalid po
