[Braddock Gaskill via SGVLUG]

Join us on Thursday Sept 14th for dinner at Du Pars and a presentation by
our own Dustin Laurence.

Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery
214 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA

Dinner begins around 7 pm and the presentation will start after most people
have received their food or 8 pm, whichever comes first.  Buying dinner is
optional.

The Young Man and the C Reloaded

What if I told you that most or all nontrivial C and C++ programs you have
ever written were just illusions? Most such programs contain undefined
behavior, and undefined behavior is at the heart of most C and C++ security
problems, yet few programmers understand how far down that rabbit hole
goes. We will swallow the red pill and study the nature and extent of
undefined behavior in C and C++, techniques for writing more secure,
reliable C and C++ in spite of the reality of undefined behavior and other
mischief, and little-used compiler flags and other tools to detect and/or
eliminate bugs.

About Dustin

Intending to become a programmer ("developer" hadn't been invented by the
marketing department yet), Dustin got sidetracked and spent more time than
he cares to admit doing theoretical physics, a background filled with
continuous mathematics almost entirely irrelevant to computer science. He
eventually returned to his original love, and though they probably won't
admit it currently hacks code for Whitemoon Dreams, Inc.  He avoids social
media for the same reason he doesn't do crack cocaine.
