Comment Re:And after wide straight roads with 90deg turnin (Score 1) 143

They are not well behaved.
They are the same idiots like everywhere, with brand new cars where the turning signals are broken.
Running on a highway, 10% above speed limit, because they think it is legal (historically, a little bit above the speed limit was counted as "measuring error". Speedometers underrate speed to make you drive "save" that is another 10%. However reality is: speedometers are now pretty accurate, and radar/lidar measuring systems as well. But they think they get a bonus because of 45 years old rulings)

Normal drivers have no say in what is on the road. This are research projects. They have a special permit.

We still have people that run at night through one way roads in a "silent" area of the town, where you have to brake every 50meters/yards to check the road crossing: in gear one, with full throttle, and sound accordingly to it.

Yeah, they run 50 meters in gear one or gear two, with full throttle, brake at the next road crossing, and then start again. At 3:00 or 4:00 at night.

Germany is full with drivers who can not drive. Their level of "can not drive" is just higher than some random other country.

Another example: high ways are usually two lanes. Usually means: 3 lanes or even 4 or more, are a rare exception. We have the strict rules that you can only overtake other cars on the left most lane. That is simple to follow on a two lane road. And the other rule is: if it is 3 lanes or more, you have to drive faster than then next right lane. On a 3 lane road that means: the middle lane has to be faster than the right lane. Simple. If you want to overtake the one in front of you on the middle lane: you have to switch to the left lane.

The common mantra on our days German roads is: you are in the middle lane? I use my flash lights to slow down from 130km/h to 85km/h and yield into the right lane. Because: well, why would I go to the left lane when I can "scare you away"?

Perhaps it is one of the German "traits" to consider yourself to be a teacher for others. Point is: they do it all wrong.

Oh ... /I AM GERMAN

That would mean the "intermediate" allocates extra memory via new/malloc etc. and has no destructor to release it.

A standard class like:

class Bla {
int field1;
int field2;

double whatever;
}

That class is just 3 fields. It pops up when needed and vanishes afterwards. There is no way to make a "memory leak" with that.

I guess our OP does not comprehend simple principles. The problem he complains about is probably not even there.

The destructor will deallocate it.
If you write the code in a way that the variable never gets "out of scope", then the destructor is not called.
If that is your question.

Seems you made your code artificial complex that standard C++ is not able to deallocate unused variables/memory.

What the funk that has to do with "operator overloading" is beyond me.

Comment Re: Don't care (Score 2) 110

Shell scripts without security issues are impossible.
That is why it is a no, no!, No!, NO! to write setuid shell scripts.

Modern shells can mitigate a little bit ... but only a little bit.

The correct way if a user wants to do something that requires root: he writes a ticket.
And you do it. If the "you do it" requires more than a single command: you write a script.
Commit the script, and put the commit log (or even the script) into the ticket when you close it.
Usually in a sane organization, the version control system is married with the ticket system, so putting the commit log into the issue tracker or the ticket number into the commit message, links them automatically.

Considering that sudo only does one single thing: starting a process with elevated privileges ...
Who the funk cares if it terminates a split second later or crashes with a segvault ...

It is not so that it opens a hand full of ports and waits for "legitimated input" and due to a "buffer overflow" starts doing illegit things.

Actually that was what OP asked about.
As OP did not understand his own question.

So, to answer your hidden question and to expand on the answer you answered to:
there is nothing to install to run sudo-rs, as everything that is not on your system is hard linked and every *.so it needs: is already on your system.

And that would be/should be a no brainer but alas, people in our times know nothing about "how computers work".

Well, the wages easy can be in the 200k range. Where else would they be?
However the peak tax (we usually have progression) is higher.

On the other hand you have health care and pensions.

For professions like this, housing is usually not included.

The rest of your post is narrow minded, "more regulations" do not concern an ordinary worker. They might concern you when you want to found or run a company.

From any rational point of view, the regulations for a baker in a bakery or a scientist in a research institute: are the same. Unless you want to call it a "regulation" that a chemists has to take care that no poison escapes his lab.
