Advanced C Coding For Fun!

Presenter(s): Rusty Russell
URL: 2011.linux.conf...
While working on CCAN I realised just how many C coding tricks there are. Regrettably, we spend very little time reading completely foreign code and instead we collect techniques one by one over years.
It needn't be that way: this presentation is a cookbook with examples of all the C programming tricks I have found value in. Not just the basics like valgrind, talloc and the Jenkins hash, but less sane techniques like typesafe callbacks, runtime code updating, C as a scripting language and malloc failure path testing.
Everyone who codes in C will get something out of this talk.

Why is it that the old 240p videos on youtube have more information than the 100 videos playlist of *youtube developers*

I'll try to implement this stuff following along. Seems really cool!

It's really a shame conference organizers don't put any effort into making recordings of decent quality, or have presenters that actually introduce their presentation succinctly, before diving into the details...
