  1. The two essential freedoms in C are use-after-free and double-free.

    Just found this nice older paper on the topic:
    software.imdea.org/~juanca/pap

    This is from #ISSTA 2012:
    dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.

    I find it funny how they already proposed using memory safe languages and discussed the matter of legacy code, and yet, now, 14 years later, it's still an issue.

  2. At #ISSTA this year, the least popular topic was symbolic analysis, with 0/7 submissions accepted. In totally unrelated news, „why don’t you use an LLM for that?“ appears to be the most frequent question asked by reviewers.

  3. The Dean Gerti Kappel at #TUWien giving an enthusiastic opening of #ISSTA with Maria Christakis and reminiscing about #ECOOP s past. 520 registrations - and counting!

  4. “The Devil's Guide to Doing your PhD - 10 tips for despair, dismay, and disappointment” - this was the keynote I gave today at the #ISSTA 2024 doctoral symposium. My slides are now available at slideshare.net/slideshow/the-d - enjoy!

  5. On my way to Vienna, visiting ISSTA 2024 and giving a keynote at the doctoral symposium on Tuesday morning. (Sorry, invitation only; will post the full slide deck after the talk.) #ISSTA #DoctoralSymposium
