minus-squareSuzunelinkfedilink21•edit-28 months agoWhen you program embedded you’ll also dereference NULL pointers at some point. More... Some platforms can have something interesting at memory address 0x0 (it’s often NULL in C).
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•8 months agoIn amd64/x86 kernel space you can dereference null as well. My hobby kernel keeps critical kernel structures there XD.
