minus-squareSuzunelinkfedilink22•edit-21 year agoWhen you program embedded you’ll also dereference NULL pointers at some point. More... Some platforms can have something interesting at memory address 0x0 (it’s often NULL in C).
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-21 year agoI was thinking about telling them how in embedded systems it’s a good practice to allocate the memory by hand, having in mind the backlog, but yours will come first
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•1 year agoIn amd64/x86 kernel space you can dereference null as well. My hobby kernel keeps critical kernel structures there XD.
