From the literature on bugs, even this specific bug is common far beyond "C and Google code".

And, if you really want to restrict to your goalpost moving subset, then go ahead and demonstrate that the above general trends are not trends in your subset. Because the literature on it disagrees with you.

So, to defend your claim "The mistake is thinking everybody else is in it too", care to show where "everybody else" is free from these bugs?

You reveal that you never had any intention of engaging honestly.

This is the very first line from the very first post in the thread:

>> It’s hard, if not impossible, to avoid use-after-frees in a non-trivial codebase.

Yes, and you replied "Nice excuse. But just wholly untrue."

I just provided thousands of examples where it is true. To offset all that evidence can you provide, say, millions of examples where zero (your phrase) use-after-free bugs have been found?

>You reveal that you never had any intention of engaging honestly.

Honest engaging would be for you to provide evidence for a claim you made when asked. I provided extremely solid counter evidence from the result of many, many research teams.

So, care to honestly engage about your claim?
