"'Brother,' says he, 'greetings. Didn't I see you in Southern Missouri last summer selling colored sand at half-a-dollar a teaspoonful to put into lamps to keep the oil from exploding?'

"'Oil,' says I, 'never explodes. It's the gas that forms that explodes.' But I shakes hands with him, anyway.

Did you mean to reply somewhere else? This thread is about about bounds checking arrays in the C programming language.

[pjmlp]

You definitly didn't understood the message.

[CyberDildonics]

If you did understood it, then explain it so I can understood it too.

[pjmlp]

Somehow doesn't seem worth my time.

[CyberDildonics]

[pjmlp]

Yes, because I don't expect you to understand anyway and ELI5 would take a bit, much longer than these dumb comments.

Hint, someone else got it.

By the way, only today I have a silver bullet to sell with "runtime safety violations" written on it, anyone willing to buy it?
