I'll take "sloppy" over "unstable, lacking direction, and full of feature creep" any day.https://twitter.com/hashbreaker/status/667845317325361152 …
@CopperheadSec "Everywhere" is an exaggeration. Vast majority of uses are just crap code, with no valid excuse for using aliasing.

@RichFelker Yes, 99% of cases are just bad code. In some rare cases, it's actually important for performance. It's really pervasive though. -
@CopperheadSec I don't buy the claims of pervasiveness without evidence. Something like analysis of a whole dist with known-crapware removed -
@CopperheadSec I deal with source for a lot of FOSS programs and do not regularly encounter aliasing issues except in decades-old crap. -
@CopperheadSec The most recent one I remember, the infamous av_freep issue, was not even just aliasing but comb w/other invalid assumptions.
