True | Sc4Freak | null | > The problem is I cannot use COM without the C++/CX extensions.
Yes you can.
Step 1. Remove the /Zw compiler switch.
Step 2. There is no step 2. Now you just use plain COM *like you normally do*, in standard ISO C++.
Because it's pre-beta software, there are large sections of WinRT that's missing documentation - the WRL is one of them. We'll probably see the documentation later once they hit beta. But you don't even have to use the WRL if you don't want to. You can just use plain old COM, like people have been doing for years! | null | 0 | 1316473030 | False | 0 | c2l3bql | t3_kk7c6 | null | t1_c2l3bql | t1_c2l0kvr | null | 1427621218 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

It wouldn't if consumer usage of iOS was far higher than Android usage. It used to be that way. I'm not implying in any way that it is now. However, if consumer usage of iOS was far higher than that of Android, that would mean that there would be much more opportunity on iOS than on Android, and so more developers would be drawn to iOS.

True | timothyjwood | null | TL:DC(lick) If you click the first link in any wikipedia article that isn't italicized or in parentheses you'll end up at Philosophy. I tried it myself and it led there between 14 and 30 pages with a sample size of 19 (random articles).
I could run the statistics to map it (although I'd welcome help or someone from a different statistical background). But it could be fun to generate 1k or so instances of this using the "random article" link and see how it maps out.
It's almost certainly not universal. Some links somewhere have to lead to loops that avoid Philosophy, and the trend seems to be to link to science and therefor to set yourself on a path that inevitably reaches Philosophy.

This is not always the case -- it's possible that the reason for the failure is an unreasonably large request. Furthermore, if that request can be controlled externally, an unchecked allocation might be exploitable: an attacker can force allocation failure and then use the NULL pointer to access absolute addresses.
I agree that your app is probably dead in the water if a 20 character string alloc fails, but if somehow your code fails to allocate a 100MB string you can absolutely recover from that.

From my (very limited) understanding of the post -- someone please fill in the gaps?-- the fix was not to ignore the error.
So, the bug was caused by FF launching and then hanging when opening a new tab.
From the code comments,
// XXX: bug 459640
// There's a binding parent.
// This means we're part of another control, so use parent accessible for name.
// This ensures that a textbox inside of a XUL widget gets
// an accessible name.
It seems that parent is needed for certain XUL widgets or something like that. The code here in its original form:
nsAccessible* parent = GetParent();
parent->GetName(aName);
would return a null pointer because, I'm assuming, there was no parent in the first place (the GetParent() function would return a null).
The fix,
nsAccessible* parent = GetParent();
if(parent) {
parent->GetName(aName);
}
basically made a check to see if parent exists. If it does, get its name (or something).
This is the best part about this blog post. An average programmer that's never seen Firefox's source code could get a grasp of what the author was talking about. It served as a great example of debugging, patching, and (as he later talks about), the free and open source ideal.

It may be annoying, it may ruin a lot of the things you hope to gain from having a type system, but throwing ClassCastException certainly prevents you from ending up with an object of some class being referred to by a variable with an incompatible type.
It's the same with Milner's "Well-typed programs can't go wrong".

Right. My point is that casting in Java may be an "escape hatch", but it does not violate type safety, not even a little. I see you haven't actually said anything that contradicts that.
You did claim unsafePerformIO violates type safety, which it *can* be used to do,
but doesn't usually, not even if it's abused to ruin referential transparency like
