    Well, goto in this case is not that bad. Without goto the Linux code would be full of many nested if-else, what would lead to more bugs, as C lacks C++ RAAI (Resource-Acquisition-I…

    On mobile systems, the major concern is low power usage and battery duration, not performance, hence the dominance of ARM-based chips in this field. The great appeal of M1 chip is …

    But C lacks even strings, lots of C bugs and vulnerabilities are related to memory management, memory ownership and string handling. Even the C subset of C++ is better than C since…
