Interesting. Someone should come up with a language that prevents these sorts of mistakes!

I think he is using memory pools, so this is ok.

Thank god Lisp is older than C, don't have to deal with such nonsense :-)

That’s impossible. Just be more careful and everything should work, the author’s C was just a bit rusty!

This project is my first project written in C language. Before this, my C language level was only at printf("hello world"). I am very happy because this project made me dare to use secondary pointers.

If only there were a couple of OSes implementated during the 1960's with such programming languages....
