You get how that last sentence is extremely funny given the first sentence, right?


No. Why, did you feel attacked


How it reads to me: "This is easy. No problem! There's reams of pages written about it, because it's easy, which is always why whole treatises get written about stuff. I can't think of the best to recommend right now, not because the topic is nuanced and there's no best one and you probably have to read many different things to determine whether to e.g. reinvent pointers as integer indexes into arrays, but don't take from any of this the idea that any part of this is complicated. Noooo!"

I mean, you said it way more concisely than I did. Good on you!


I was not asserting it was easy nor trying to attack you. Merely recommending you find reading material because your understanding is lacking. You’ll probably find it scratching an itch when you realize how nicely it all composes together.

Though I have little hope for that after your little drive-by at memory safety further showcasing you’re way out of your depth


I feel pretty comfortable with my level of conversance with these issues, but if you think "you're way out of your depth" is persuading readers of this thread, have at it; you have my permission to establish to those readers that that's the level you're arguing at.
