Indeed, the common discovery mode for an impossibly
large buffer error is that your program seems to be
working fine, and then it tries to display a string
that should say “Hello world,” but instead it prints
“#a[5]:3!” or another syntactically correct Perl
script, and you’re like WHAT THE HOW THE, and then
you realize that your prodigal memory accesses have
been stomping around the heap like the Incredible Hulk
when asked to write an essay entitled “Smashing
Considered Harmful.”
"When it’s 3 A.M., and you’ve been debugging for 12 hours,
and you encounter a virtual static friend protected volatile
templated function pointer, you want to go into hibernation and awake as a werewolf and then find the people who wrote the C++ standard and bring ruin to the things that they love."
