Today in PHP horibleness: mb_check_encoding() claims to check whethe the argument is valid for a given character encoding. What it *actually* checks is whether decoding and re-encoding it yields the original bytestring. Decoding some charsets (like ISO-2022-JP) is not injective.
Look, I don't even use PHP for any project, I avoid PHP, but PHP has my record of "times I've had to read language runtime code to find some horrible yet obvious bug", and I'm "that guy who wrote that crazy blog post about debugging Go".
got a link to the blog post?
I got u: https://marcan.st/2017/12/debugging-an-evil-go-runtime-bug/ … Was looking for it myself.
I used PHP a bunch in ~2003 era, and it's just a distant, uncouth memory; at the time I liked it but I sure wrote some shitty looking code that was hard to maintain Do people still use it?
Not only do people still use it, it's still receiving new features. It's like COBOL -- there's enough important business software written in PHP that it will never truly die.
oh for me that's C (and by extension pretty much everything else)
Language runtime, as in GCC or glibc? I don't really recall the last time I actually had to dig through the code of those (though I have stumbled upon a GCC but or two, but at least they were already fixed upstream)
