sk0yern Skrevet 18. mars 2021 Del Skrevet 18. mars 2021 Denne tråden tyder på at ikke alt er helt som det skal i prosjektet Dette høres jo ikke bra ut: Sitat The first step was assessing the current state of the code the previous developer had dumped into the tree. It was not pretty. I imagined strange Internet voices jeering, “this is what gives C a bad name!” There were random sleeps added to “fix” race conditions, validation functions that just returned true, catastrophic cryptographic vulnerabilities, whole parts of the protocol unimplemented, kernel panics, security bypasses, overflows, random printf statements deep in crypto code, the most spectacular buffer overflows, and the whole litany of awful things that go wrong when people aren’t careful when they write C. Or, more simply, it seems typical of what happens when code ships that wasn’t meant to. It was essentially an incomplete half-baked implementation – nothing close to something anybody would want on a production machine. Matt had to talk me out of just insisting they pull the code entirely, and rework it more slowly and carefully for the next release cycle. And he was right: nobody would have agreed to do that, and it would only have fostered frustration from folks genuinely enthusiastic about if_wg. Lenke til kommentar
