But the compiler's output will be polluted with these false positives, making it harder to see actual errors. (Also, there's a compiler flag to prevent codegen on error, which comes in handy sometimes.)

Here's a similar joke I found in Viktor Suvorov's faschinating Kuzkina Mat [1] : A man is walking down the street carrying a 12-roll pack of toilet paper. People surround him, all excited: "Where'd you get that?"

As I see it, the auditor's job is to analyse the system thoroughly, not to skim some areas of it. Looking through 5000 pages worth of code on a computer screen would also be quite a challenge, even with the interactive aids you get fro

To be fair, an IDE is not geared at auditing and it would be much more painful to do freeform annotations in it. Circling problematic areas, drawing connections between variables/functions, making handwritten notes in the margin... all

Antitrust's "I think my girlfriend is trying to poison my food, so I'll cut myself, expose the cut to that food and see if I get sick" scene ruined the movie for me. I know that's basically how allergy testing works

To add to what everyone else is saying: I started using TS back in the 0.8 days, before generics were a thing. Since then, I have built several projects with TypeScript and migrated one JavaScript project to TS. These projects also involved

It does happen, but you picked a bad example. Read the close reason: " Questions about general computing hardware and software are off-topic for Stack Overflow unless they directly involve tools used primarily for programming. "

It seems like that code just builds random-ish data that conforms to the wanted file format and then gives it incriminating names. For example: [1] https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/38290d4eab2b2c.
