But I have both…

Well… Unless those blocking bugs relate to getting new Wayland protocols approved.

Sounds like they want Ada Spark and not Rust.

Oh no, when they deserialized the int/pointer they used it like the original structure (which now points to freed memory). They meant to serialize the data structure across, but only sent the memory address.

Mine was very much like that, but they also deleted the pointer after sending it, but before receiving it for good measure.

The C++ code went something like this:

1. Conver pointer to int
2. Serialize the int over IPC to self using Linux Message Queues
3. Delete/free the pointer
4. Read the int from the queue
5. Convert to pointer
6. “Use” the pointer

Who took a picture of my silverware drawer?

We have both kids of music here, Country and Western.

My work upgraded to Windows 11, now I have lag for a right click menu to appear, and once it does individual items (like Open with Notepad++) just show up as “Loading…” for several more seconds.

Try suggesting people try out a garbage collected language and see how the crabs come to feast. :P

Which is why garbage collection is the way to go.

My issue is C++ will “let me do it”, and by that I mean “you didn’t cast here (which is UB), so I will optimize out a null check later, and then segfault in a random location”

Have you ever used wheel-el in emacs? It really sets a high bar.
