"Windows" did this 11 years ago:

>FILE Encapsulation: In previous versions, the FILE type was completely defined in <stdio.h>, so it was possible for user code to reach into a FILE and muck with its internals. We have refactored the stdio library to improve encapsulation of the library implementation details. As part of this, FILE as defined in <stdio.h> is now an opaque type and its members are inaccessible from outside of the CRT itself.

Besides fixing bad C code: how many of those packages are still properly maintained? The Ruby ones don't seem to be. Fedora and other distros likely have to build their packages with patches.

Overall there are even more: 103. But then again 1.9.2 only has 85 and 95 overall. Also one of those new 'overall' ones is the EBCDIC code page for US/Canada.

dmr would've approved of going a step further - only nullptr, no 0 and (void*)0:

It's weird because even the first C standard was influenced by C++: function prototypes and const.

People just have to look at the politicians and parties he's supporting. For example in the last French presidential election he opposed the pro-capitalist liberal (redundant as liberals are by definition pro-capitalism). I wonder what's his opinion on the Brazil one. A moderate social democrat vs. fascist belonging to a party called the "Social Liberal Party"?

He's not even a good source of information as his 3 hours long videos consist of Wikipedia articles he glanced through and repeating extreme right-wing conspiracies (Cultural Marxism, the terrorist attack at the Unite the Right rally).

(Also the only decent anti-idpol people are Marxists.)

>liberal-communism

What's next? Anarcho-Capitalism?

It's also kinda ironic because improved performance was the reason behind that decision.

Your snark doesn't make my comment less true.

Cultural Marxism isn't real. It's a Neo-Nazi conspiracy theory popularized by a right-wing terrorist. If fascism actually has arrived, you played a part in it. Your views on economic and social policies do too but propertarians like you don't understand fascism and reduce it to authoritarianism.

>discrediting political opponents [...] and inciting racial conflict to sow instability among Americans

Your mass media/ruling class does that too (especially on the political right). And they have much more influence than some largely unknown YT channel allegedly backed by Russia.

So-called tankies are pretty much irrelevant though.

I didn't know countries like the USA are majority muslim.

Do you even know what neoliberal means?

Where does the article say that? The US president is mentioned because there seem to be people tired of hearing about him and to be honest, US politics are really toxic - even without him.

>They could have made it unsigned instead of signed

C actually didn't have unsigned integer types in the beginning. They were added many years later and also not at the same time. For example, the Unix V7 C compiler only had "unsigned int".

>1 +

That's unnecessary. But then again I can't really blame them. It isn't always clear when you have to do that. Also a previous version might have used strlen() instead of sizeof.

The linked comment was posted 29 days ago. That's not really new but then again some people might not be aware of it or the whole thing.

That's not true. Hexadecimals integer constants without suffix may have a signed type but they also may have an unsigned one. For example, 0x81000000 usually has type unsigned int.

What is broken? Have you reported it? I've reported a related bug this week (File.truncate called CreateFileA() with a UTF-8 string). I even had a working patch but forgot to attach it. Anyway it was almost immediately fixed including various additional tests for other File class methods (which handled Unicode without any problems).

blueintegral is correct:

Since VS2013 some useful and popular C99 language features are supported. And then there's Clang/C2 but it can't be used via command-line yet.

Their standard library (besides being intentionally not fully compliant) is missing some C11 features though. I guess we have to wait at least for C++17:

Only on x86 though.

Have you stopped lxssmanager?

That article ends with a link to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Features/Application_Reput... which contains:

>These lookups are Windows-only, because we rely on signature information in order to suppress remote lookups and signature APIs are only available on Windows. If the binary is unsigned or its signature does not match a known good publisher and the filename ends in a known executable extension, Firefox sends a remote lookup to the application reputation service.

This is more precise than your post including the quote.
