the nice thing about C is that if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, it will enthusiastically let you do so and then ask for the next appendage to shoot

@ariadne you need to give it a pointer to the address of the contiguous memory block of appendages though โ€ฆ

@ariadne which you can specify in either array or pointer notation.

@ariadne Maybe don't add all the appendages to a linked list first?

@adb what is a linked list? i just use reallocarray(3) and qsort(3) anymore

@ariadne Losing appendages in a deterministic predictable order has to be worse than a random unexpected disassembly (algorithmically similar to Elon's RUDs, it might seem).

@ariadne Ask? C is you give a hand, it takes an arm.

@ariadne

broke: strlen("Hello World!");

woke: sizeof("Hello World!") - 1;

@cas ah i see you've been looking at the (wrong) fluentbit CVE fix

@ariadne uhh what's that?

i needed to deal with a null separated string array and "discovered" this one ๐Ÿ˜…

(have since found a better approach)

@ariadne I do appreciate that C just does it.. C++ always makes you ask nicely to shoot yourself in the foot.

@weilawei @ariadne
C++ won't take an appendage. Instead, it will kindly take something less obvious like your adrenal glands :)

@ariadne It won't so much ask as just assume you want it to and do so unless you tell it not to.

@ariadne conveniently, you can just leave the next appendage right there on the stack!
