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.

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 un-C-like to me. cppreference is usually excellent docu

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 have variadic functions yet. They where introduce

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 certainly don't want a turing complete contraption. [1] A

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 both a heat source and a heat sink at the same time. This thi

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 than oil extraction in both dimensions. If that lithium can of

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? Because to me, it just sounds like we can't know so

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. And that's why there is nothing to be said to the subs

"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 pointless and will not continue.

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. Much of the research into static code analysis starts there. Th

"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 is well. Or is it? That's when they have time to think

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 their attitude about napalm.

Of course everybody thinks PETA as lunatics, maybe rightfully. But it was them made veganism a thing. It's mainstream now. I guess about between 2% and 5% of the population and growing. Burger king and McDonalds sell vegan options. Tha

That's what people said about PETA and whatever outrageous stuff they did. Time has disproven these people. I don't see how this is any different.

Might actually happen in Bulgaria. And yet, for the most part, people are overreacting. I for one have lived in a temporary unheated german apartment with horrible insulation (build around 1955, not upgraded). It sounds way worse than it is
