Why C is Terrible: (But Can't Be Ignored)

[@simonhenriquez4590]

that's skill issue

[@dario.lencina]

Which part? That c does not check for null pointers automatically or that you can return a ref to memory that you do not own?

Your videos get better and better

[@dario.lencina]

Well thanks chief !

[@deffuls]

1. the part about dynamically allocated array I don't get it, how compiler is supposed to know what size it is? or it will be?
2. also the part about dereferencing a null pointer, well the idea is that you cannot put a value into nothing :D

GCC 17 youre lucky, we still have to use GCC 6 or even older for backward compability reasons and contracts 🤓

[@dario.lencina]

I am sorry I misspoke I have GCC 14 but still

[@Christian-of1tz]

@@dario.lencina okay 😄 still much more recent than the ancient one I have to use 😅

[@dario.lencina]

I boi! What did GCC break which prevents you from upgrading?

[@Christian-of1tz]

@@dario.lencina AIX and CentOS 7 and 8. 😅 But we want to try to upgrade next year, AIX support will be dropped in the next 2 years or so. So we'll see. 😅

Querido, vos naciste mucho después que C naciera, y lo más probable es que cuando te vayas del mundo, la gente siga haciendo cosas maravillosas en C.

@@dario.lencina pero sabes que? estoy 100% de acuerdo que cuando uno lleva muchos anios haciendo cosas (perdon por el teclado), tiene todo el derecho a tener sus preferencias y un olfato por lo que sirve y lo que no, que puede sonar mas o menos arbitrario a los demas, y si cuidado. Lo digo por celebrar tu material y que siga!!!
