HAHAHA, everyone who uses OpenSource because it's more secure should to compile software installed on their system with less permissive compilers. HAHAHA!
Everyone laughing about this should load their fav piece of proprietary junk in a debugger/RE tool and then go cry.

There's software that is "proprietary" and "favorite"?
-
My point is: People that advertise OpenSource as more secure are as wrong as people that say OpenSource is cheaper. Both heavily depends on the environment in that the software is used.
-
While of course there is no single axis/metric for objective comparison, I find the claim still highly plausible.
-
In a sense of, given a random pair of proprietary sw & feature-comparable (at least to your requirements) FOSS, you should expect much shittier code & more stupid security bugs in the proprietary one.
-
Even the anti-FOSS crowd can agree with me on this claim, vacuously. ;-)
-
I'm with you at this point. But I find the claim "use OS, then you're safe" naive. Even more now that I world compiled void-packages with gcc-7 and -Werror.
-
Oh absolutely. At best, unless you carefully curate the sw you depend on, you're just "slightly less fucked".
-
But -Werror fails don't necessarily indicate problems. About 1/3 of -Wall is definite bugs and 2/3 style complaints that might correlate to hidden bugs.
