I don't understand why people talk about this like we live in some fantasy land where C compilers don't have tons of bugs like this. And that's just the bugs, not even the accepted UB.

> I love the cope required to start ranting about C on a topic where a bug is found on a crítical selling point of rust
Rust was largely created to be safer than C, so comparing Rust to C is always relevant in a thread about Rust's safety.
The comparison (that Rust is still an improvement over C, even if it has bugs) is relevant.
