Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, in C++ "=" could be called "dangerouslySetAribtraryMemoryLocation" and it would be just as accurate. In native code, even trivial operations like concatenating two strings or setting a variable can cause arbitrary code to execute.
Care to give an example?
Assuming OP was talking about overloading the '=' operator:
struct A {
int *p = nullptr;
A& operator=(int i) {
*p = i;
return *this;
}
};
int main(void)
{
A a;
a = 1; /* boom! */
return 0;
}
