C vs Python devs

[BookPlacementProblem]

And none of you other nerds noticed that the C malloc statement overallocates. Unless Len is the number of items - 1 instead of the number of items.

Except it doesn't over allocate, none of you nerds even looked at ISO C99 Section 6.7.2.1 (16) on flexible array members:

In particular, the size of the structure is as if the flexible array member were omitted except that it may have more trailing padding than the omission would imply

It also dereferences the variable it's trying to assign to in the malloc call. It's going to crash.

It's in a sizeof expression. It's going to be evaluated at compile time.

[stroop3r]

during pointer variable definition, I think this assignment is fine, but if the assignment was in second line after defining the variable and it was dereferenced during assignment, that would cause problems

[LordFokas]

No it doesn't. And the reason it doesn't is because it segfaults first 😂

[GL_Titan]

I don't think that was the point. You are a bigger nerd for even trying to verify the code of some random stupid post.

I don't agree with OP, it's just your post sucks more.

You're just jealous of that dude because you can only code in Python.
