Content de te retrouver parmi nous!
J'aime bien ce petit bout:
<blockquote>
I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game
SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application:
it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to
work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is
freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right
away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular
applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept
crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled
SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added
special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the
memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory
after freeing it.

Ah... c'est ça qu'on appelle du "non-free software" :-D
