snsabot: (trilema) 2020-02-01 mircea_popescu: it doesn't even fucking save memory, the five bytes this'll save over a lifetime is dwarved by the five megabytes in extra libc needed to support the insanity
Apocalyptic: evaluating expression in if blocks seem to be well defined in C89, why would you need 5 MB, let alone extra libc to support that ?
Apocalyptic: that was my thinking as well, had to double check
Apocalyptic: I can see massive chunk of libc to be involved only by including new calls to functions
Apocalyptic: anyway just another mp-claim from arse then
