if you are misusing your pointers or overshooting the ends of your arrays, that’s your problem for being an idiot, not the problem of C.

Some of us actually did that on purpose, thoughtfully, for a specific reason.

Once upon a time, it was the only way to peek and poke at the real metal.

And dumping a big ole whack-a-doodle right past the end of an array, right onto bare metal works great, should it actually run.

Isn’t that “feature” also a classic security hole?
