@llogiq@hachyderm.io @Mara@hachyderm.io I see very little difference between memory bug that crashes the program and assertion macro that crashes the program. But my view might be skewed due to working a great deal with Windows ecosystem and MSVC - if Microsoft has perfected anything about their system, its crash dumps. They contain all parallel stacks, all unoptimized variables, shows the actual source code (when symbols are appropriately provided). Therefore, I likely have comparable amount of information as you do, even if the crash happened on the customer environment. I agree with your point about tools being able to detect presence of bugs, not their absence, I was mainly questioning the economy. If maintaining the tool costs way more than dealing with occasional bug, then I am not going to use the tool, even if it sounds really stupid said out loud like this.
