> Valgrind, ASsan, Intel Inspector, etc.<p>So where is the problem? Why I have to download ~2gb security updates that tries to fix memory issues. Not one but ~10. Every update is full of them. It still seems the new updates will have them too. My OS is so vulnerable. When it will be finally fixed?<p>Like with electron apps. Convenience for developers but who is concerned about the user?
"We have a plethora of static and memory checking tools: Valgrind, ASsan, Intel Inspector, etc." I'm not sure what to do with that argument. How is having a plethora of external tools (that you have to setup, configure and in the end not ignore) better than a compiler that prevents memory bugs?
The poster sounds like a stick in the mud who is upset at the hubbub around the new fancy tool that potentially invalidates their sunk cost into an aging one.
