Gimli and Legolas Unite: C Dev, C++ Dev, and a Rust Hater

Description

A three-panel Lord of the Rings meme (Battle of Helm's Deep scene, imgflip watermark). Panel one: Gimli, labeled 'C DEV', says 'NEVER THOUGHT I'D FIGHT AGAINST VIBECODING WITH A C++ DEV'. Panel two: Legolas, labeled 'C++ DEV', smiles and replies 'WHAT ABOUT A RUST HATER'. Panel three: Gimli looks moved and answers 'AYE, I COULD DO THAT' - riffing on the original 'What about a friend?' exchange. The meme captures how the AI vibe-coding wave forged an alliance between historically feuding systems programmers (C vs C++ vs Rust evangelists) against a common enemy: LLM-generated code

At last, C and C++ have found some socially well-defined behavior.

You have my sword. SWord = single word 🤓 (16, 32 or 64 bits, depending on platform conventions)

  There's no "You have my void*" nor "you have my std::unique_ptr" :P

  don't point at me

  shall i dereference you

  Segmentation Fault use of uninitialized memory
  
  @SamsonovAnton 2mo
  
  Because a pointer is nothing without what it points to. PS. Can you declare a void variable?

  No you can't. You can define a void function, which returns nothing
  
  @callofvoid0 2mo
  
  dereferencing a pointer yields variable value does dereferencing a void pointer count as yielding void?
  
  @feedable 2mo
  
  no, it's ill-formed
  
  @callofvoid0 2mo
  
  malicious needs require malicious deeds
