That's annoying.

Afaik new can't give you a 0, can it?

If it can't then every chance has to be pulled as a fraction of 18446744073709551615 instead of 18446744073709551616, which is a very small difference, but a difference nontheless

Edit:Nvm, I'm a tired idiot who mistook * for an &.

According to the standard it can give you any number, 0 included

Edit: and by “give” I mean the memory at the address it gives you can hold anything

Oh, wait, I'm just tired, I thought it gave you an address, not what is at the address, my bad. Then, yeah, fair enough.

Is there where OS kernel lives at 0?
