>C has been adding generics anyway, like _Generic. "_Generic" added function overloads to c, not generics. The naming is exceptionally poor. The submission is an example of generic…

No, The strict aliasing part of the semantic of the memory. “syntax sugar” is, per definition, part of the syntax .

for a definiton of "just memory" that includes the strict aliasing rule. Certainly not a buffer of bytes, what most people would assume when they hear "just memory".

Sorry my bad. Yes, it works for proper function arguments. Does this work for variadic arguments? Parent seems to suggest, but i'm not aware of any mechanism for this.

>Did you propose/implement/release something better than printf? This is what the article is about? Things much better that printf are a dime a dozed and available since 20 years. …

Do you mean this feature [0]? I'm not aware of any differences in c and c++ about this. Can you get a type of a argument in C? How? At compile time, or at runtime? Both sound very …

And outstreams where not that bad, aswell. Sure, the operator overloading looks a bit rough. But that's IMHO a pragmatic choice if you want to offer customisation points and didn't…

printf is a bad joke of a formatting function. When i want to print a string i don't want to worry about the security implications of that. With printf i have to. [0] And i certain…

I think you are looking for (one specific implementation of) Cold district heating. It can be implemented as a single line of force water flow with 20-25 Celsius. It is viable as b…

Both can be bad, and both are bad. But it looks like a lot of people assume they are just as bad without any quantitate or qualitative assessment. Lithium mining is way less bad th…

>It does not misrepresent what you said, and failure to see that means you did not actually understand it Oh yes, I do. I do know what i mean and I can see that your quote of it wa…

Yes, precisely my point: Even the best are not nearly good enough. Because "the competent enough C programmer" is a myth.

Seatbelts have issues. Some of them undiscovered yet. What suggests that Seatbelts won't introduce issues that will be larger than the 70% of issues that it solves with crashes? Be…

I understand your argument. It works with starting from a massive misrepresentation of what I have said (aka bad faith). Your argument is fatally flawed due to the reason i stated.…

The non-cynical answer is: Yes, we will be doing so much more. https://blog.ploeh.dk/2019/07/01/yes-silver-bullet/

"Training" and "being the (allergy) the most skilled" have no connection to you? You can't be serious. This is mincing words and a bad-faith argument. I consider this discussion po…

Kernel hackers are considered the most skilled people in the whole profession. The Linux kernel is one of the most read source code on the planet. The code is audited to death. Muc…

To reuse your metaphor: If professional chefs would constantly maim themself and each other despite extensive occupancy safety training, knives have no place in the hands of a resp…

"I/My kid/My dog could have done that" is something that is said to artists since the dawn of time. It's a universal sentiment. I'm not saying it's true. I'm saying it is said.

What about this is counterproductive? People get angry, emotional involved. After a few minutes they realize that the glass in front of the painting is not that expensive and all i…

It's like telling people you are burning a puppy with napalm "for demonstrating the effect" at an anti-viet-nam-war-protests. First people get crazy angry at you, then they change …

The most solvable to these people, anyway.

It's funny that you can say that about pretty much all art.

This was the case for 70 years and thus far all the mad man where all to wise not to press it, because at the end of the day they know how it will end. We didn't stop all human act…
