    The trope will be “old” once the mainstream view is no longer that C-style memory management is “good enough”.

    That said, this particular vulnerability was primarily due to how signals work, which I understand to be kind of unavoidably terrible in any language.

        I’m not totally clear on why signals are used here in the first place. Arguably most C code doesn’t “need” to use signals in complex ways, either.
