A less top tip:

If you see #Clang's address sanitizer complain that it couldn't find a "symbolizer", the reason that no searching of the WWW will give you, even with Bing, is that installing the clang package in #Debian isn't in fact enough for fully using clang++. You also need llvm-NN-tools, which one gets as a dependency of llvm-dev.

I discovered that, unlike what the documentation says, you in fact do not need GDC to bootstrap GDC.

clang, not GCC. It does have a whole 'sanitization' system. I predict that it won't be any simpler for you than valgrind. (-:

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html

MSVC has a SAL system that can be useful for static, rather than runtime, checking of some stuff.

My experience of valgrind is that it really really slows the program down, and generates tonnes of output that has to be sifted through. But there's no magic bullet that does away with that when one is debugging memory problems.

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

A new #blog post appears!

I built a native GCC 14.2.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger PowerPC.
