Humm, Rc, I thought it might of been a "Reference Collected" attribute

Of course it's not random, but it's needlessly short, for no reason nor

Juha, if you do not stop feeding the trolls, I will treat you
as a troll yourself and add you to my killfile.  You do not have
to respond to everything.  I have several users filtered out by
the equivalent of a killfile.  You are bypassing my killfile by
posting responses.  Please stop.

Which pretty much makes killfiles useless. I have never understood,
and will never understand, why people use them. They are useless.
The only thing they do is that they break threads and make them
disjointed. And if you just keep adding people to your killfile
because they keep responding to people in your killfile, or to
people responding to those, or to people responding to those...
sooner or later you'll have almost everybody in your killfile
and see nothing.

I honestly cannot see the point.

Typically only a few people ever respond to the people who have, by dint
of extraordinary effort, managed to land in my killfile.  Typically
those few people who do respond to them aren't much loss either.

The killfile propagation you are describing is not my experience.

I'm going to assume that you actually want an explanation.  That might
be a bad assumption.

My killfile is extremely useful.  It filters out posts by a handful of
users who would otherwise seriously damage the signal-to-noise ratio of
my view of this newsgroup.  It makes this newsgroup a much more pleasant
place.

Most other users here have enough sense to refrain from posting
followups to noise.

My killfile does not generally make threads disjointed, because
typically none of the participants in a meaningful thread are in my
killfile.

You are one of the few users here who both posts relevent content *and*
posts annoying responses to trolls.  Most recently, you posted:

    > I thought you weren't reading any of my "nonsense". So why are you?
    >
    > Just go away, asshole.

because, apparently, you thought that *all* readers of this newsgroup
needed to see you say that.  We really really didn't.

I'll note that the particular troll you were replying to posts under
what appears to be a valid email address, so you could have contacted
them directly.

Honestly, I understand the urge to feed the trolls.  I've done it
myself.  But I strongly suggest that you learn to let them have the last
word -- or it will never end.

Perhaps you now understand a bit better.  Whether you do or not, my
previous statement stands.  Your positive contributions here do not
outweigh the noise you produce with posts like your recent one.

Man, of all the things i've seen people complain about about Rust, this 
is probably one of the most superficial.  Granted, there are some issues 
with names, like how the `mut` and `unsafe` keywords impart value 
judgments, or how the Rust community has a single specific style (¡that 
might not work for everybody!) and by default the compiler gets all 
judgy if you don't follow those standards (¡remember, the only thing 
better than perfect is standardized!), or how the `use` keyword makes it 
more difficult to find where something is from.  But all of these pale 
in comparison to Rust's bigger problems.

An associate told me that he struggled to build Rust itself with 4GB RAM
and 16GB swap.  In my own opinion, any program that requires more than
20gb of virtual memory to compile is getting too big for its britches.

Really.  20GB should be enough memory for anyone.

I believe that on my current computer I will never be able to compile Rust, given
that I have almost the same kind of machine.

But don't tell the Rust aficionados about things like Ada, or MISRA, or even better,
tell them we should start to use machines with better arcihtectures :)

Phk may be controversial sometimes, but here, I must say, I agree with his point
of view:

Most of it is rather pointless ranting about extending legacy architectures, lacking
context (e.g. he doesn't talk about TLB caching translation table walk intermediate
and final results) or the performance/security tradeoffs for microarchitectural
features such as speculative execution or even the selection of page size.

He doesn't talk at all about the performance costs of his recommended hardware
ADA engine's object oriented 64-bit address space.

I've been watching the CHERI/Morello stuff for a while; I think it's a useful
idea, but it will have a cost ('capabilities' are 128-bits), and there is
extra DRAM required for a tag bit.    Not new, either, since Burroughs has
done object-oriented capability systems since the 1960s with the Large (MCP)
Systems starting with the B5000->B5700->B6700 family and still sold today
as Unisys Clearpath MCP systems (albeit emulated).

Why would anyone choose that image as an example of C ???

Those scenarios are almost never, though.

The niche is small, and nothing needs replacing in it.

... write in an easy-to use GC language that doesn't have a
fit if you get objects in a cycle, and in which any reference
to any object can go anywhere in the program you want
without a hassle.

I wouldn't call embedded programming to be a "small niche".

(Well, the subset of embedded programming that happens on processors
so small that they can't run Linux, at least.)

And it will be a /long/ time before Rust has significant market share in 
these devices.  Despite wanting the newest microcontrollers, embedded 
programmers are a conservative bunch - C90 is, I think, the most popular 
choice of language.  (Yes, C90 - not C99.)  C++ is gaining, assembly is 
dwindling (but not gone), and there is a small subset that like Ada, 
Forth, MicroPython and a few others.

It may well be that the use of Rust in such systems would be a good idea 
- but that does not mean it will happen to any serious extent.

In my experience working in the field I think C99 has gained popularity
even among many (although not all) old-school "as bare metal as possible"
embedded C programmers.

Designated initializers are perhaps the best thing that has happened to C
during its entire existence (which is why they have been widely adopted
in the Linux kernel, and many other major C projects).
