| cmaloney | jrwren: Snarky response to https://fosstodon.org/@jrwren/110781546740850651: "Oh, so it allows Apple to be selfish then. Got it. ;) " | 17:32 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | I mean, GCC has bound checking but you have to really, really dive into the details to get it | 17:32 |
| cmaloney | I think it's gotten better with -Wall, but I'm not expert enough to know the particulars | 17:33 |
| jrwren | I doubt taht GCC's bounds checking is remotely close to this. | 17:35 |
| jrwren | this is pointer bounds checking, not just array bounds checking | 17:35 |
| jrwren | when Apple moved from GCC to LLVM... what??? 15-20yrs ago? ... I figured they would do a lot of closed source things with it. Turns out they did, we just didn't know it :) | 17:40 |
| cmaloney | https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-6.3.0/gcc/Pointer-Bounds-Checker-builtins.html | 17:56 |
| cmaloney | But yeah, I figure Apple is paying a lot of smart people to do smart things now that they can keep a separate code-base. | 17:56 |
| cmaloney | Also figured this was more of a discussion that didn't need to be on Mastodon in case someone didn't realize this was playful ribbing for old friends and not an invitation for someone to try to school both of us. | 17:57 |
