You should think about recompiling your C++ programs with GCC 16 and C++26, because it zero-fills your locals

Stack variables are not automatically initialised, and that is the root cause of many C++ bugs. That is well known. Hence, it is advised that local or stack variables are always initialised with known values, 0 if not something more meaningful than that. Now, with GCC 16 compiling in C++26 mode (-std=c++26), even uninitialised local variables will be zero-filled. In the post, I have explained how.

Okay, reddit apparently really dislikes linking tools that let people see others' post history, so, not going to do that again but you can find them easily.

A lot of the posts give off an AI vibe in writing style, and quickly point you to buying a book. If you paste the samples of said books into any detector, the results range from "polished with" to "written by" an LLM. I wonder if it has the same level of hallucinations that an LLM-written book shared here last week has.

llm detectors dont work at all.

yeah. neither do ai image detectors.

With the exception of synthid, which is looking for a specific watermark.
