Worse version of this


Why would I want to be shown the concept of pointers by an eight year old?
I’ll have you know, she’s canonically 300 years old
Nah, she’s 5 or younger. She lied about being 6 (school age) to get adopted. It’s a very wholesome story (if you disregard the war, political intrigue and terrorism).
AAAWWW THIS IS SOOO CUUUTE
Wait. It’s been a long time but shouldn’t be int*** -> int** -> int* -> int ?
they used to call him the deref king back in college
Didn’t expect to see the Drift King here
So, googling it, the general premise is you should use smart pointers instead to avoid crashes. Got it.
They all have footguns that cause different crashes.
If you want to do explicit memory access without inevitable safety problems, you need Rust. That’s the whole hype with Rust.
But… per-process-isolation is a hardware feature, no?
So you really should implement it in your compiler so you don’t contravene it
