@jakub_neruda@techhub.social @Mara@hachyderm.io That makes me worry about the memory errors you didn't encounter.

@llogiq@hachyderm.io @Mara@hachyderm.io Could be. The hard bit is that you can't definitively prove there aren't any. And the tools to prove anything are hit and miss. Any time I tried plugging in a static analysis tool into an existing code (both mine and at work), it produced a lot of false positives and nothing useful. When we tried ASAN at work, it found 9 legit issues, all of them in unit tests, none in actual production code. Statistically, I worry much more about logical bugs than memory ones. So far, they "cost" me infinitely more than the memory ones.
