A C programmer discovering that pointers bite back

C is a general purpose programming language and one of the oldest and most influential. It is the ancestor language of C++ which in turn influenced C#, Java and Rust; it is very close to the hardware (whatever that means o algo) which is why it's used in software like Linux and DOOM (because Torvalds and Carmack are aryanGODs midwits who hate C++). C does not use a garbage collector (unlike Java, C#, and Python) and all memory must be directly allocated and freed manually by using malloc() and free(). Even though C++ and Rust literally do this for free with no runtime cost by using smart pointers, RAII, and ownership-based memory. Also C is compiled ahead of time rather than interpreted or just-in-time compiled.

Terry Davis created Holy C which is his own dialect of C, which uses 'Just In Time' (JIT) compilation. It also borrows some features from C++.

C is the lingua franca of foreign function interfaces, meaning many languages have bindings to call C functions. For C++, because C++ preserves backwards compatibility with C, this is trivial.

History[edit | edit source]

C is one of the oldest languages that remain relevant today. It was created by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson of Bell Labs in 1972, to construct utilities running on Unix. It later became popular, and standardised in 1989. Despite this, it remains an oldfag language that has updated and modernised very little since its inception, unlike its descendant C++ (and its descendants).

Safety concerns[edit | edit source]

WARNING: WORDSWORDSWORDS
This page or section is just one big wall of text.
As you can see, C pointer syntax is incredibly retarded.

Because C uses direct memory management, you have access to pointers which essentially point to something in memory (in either the stack or the heap).

  • If you don't free() memory on the heap that you malloc()ed you will get a memory leak.
  • After you free() memory, you cannot use whatever was there, as that memory no longer belongs to you; it has been returned to the OS.
  • Calling free() on a pointer twice is illegal. Why? Because that memory might get used elsewhere, and the system doesn't know if you meant to free the first object or the object that might now live in that address.
  • A void* (void pointer) is a pointer that can basically point to any sort of data type. The compiler doesn't know what it points to. You cannot dereference it directly, you must cast it to a specific type.
    • Because C doesn't have generics (you can make _Generic macros but that's a macro and not a function) you cannot write generic code like with C++ templates, you have to store things as void* and then cast them to the actual type. (This is similar to pre-Java 5 which did not have generics, so container types like HashMap stored everything as Object and had to be manually casted down to their actual type.) This is obviously not safe and also probably very inconvenient. (Also C doesn't allow operator overloading so you can't do things like define your own math structs and add them with +, a lot of fags will say operator overloading can be abused but same could be said about literally every other programming feature)
  • If a pointer is null (NULL) and you dereference it you will get a segmentation fault (segfault). (In Java dereferencing null results in a NullPointerException which is like a controlled segfault on the JVM.) Also, a dangling pointer is a pointer that points to memory that has been deallocated, and accessing it is illegal.
    • C23 (the version of C released in 2023) adds nullptr which is a type-safe null pointer constant. Prior to this C used a macro NULL which expanded to (void*)0 which isn't heckin type safe o algo.
  • Using an uninitialized variable is illegal.
  • An integer overflow occurs when a calculation exceeds the maximum/minimum value of an integer.
  • Accessing an index outside the length of an array causes a segmentation fault. Also, there is no native String type in C, there is only char[] (arrays of char) or char* (pointers to string literals).
  • A stack overflow is when the call stack exceeds the allocated size. This can happen when, for example, you allocate too many variables or have a function call itself recursively.
  • A buffer overflow is when you write more data to a buffer than it can hold. A buffer might be an array, string, or some block of memory. This will corrupt memory. It is also used by hackers such as the sharty to perform exploits such as code injections and arbitrary code executions, such as changing the return address to call some other function.
  • Undefined behavior is when you do something that is illegal and therefore not defined by the standard. When that happens there is no guarantee what happens - it is entirely up to compiler implementation. Undefined behavior is allowed by the C standard to allow compilers to make optimizations.

Rust is more aryan than C. People who claim C is more aryan are nocoder trannies who get all their opinions from /g/ and have never written C. A malding tranny wrote this sentence and the list above if that matters.
