Can't Happen or /* NOTREACHED */ or Real Programs Dump Core*

Submitted By: Unknown
Rating: starstarstarstarstar (Rate It)

UNIX programmers too often fail to check for failure of system
calls or functions, taking the familiar teen-age attitude that
‘‘it can’t happen to me (or my program)’’. This paper will
attempt to convince its audience to take prophylactic measures.
Those who take such measures will be healthier - and less prone
to surprises - than those who don’t take such measures. (PDF

Classic statement of how things can go wrong! starstarstarstarstar   Posted by: Jonathan Leffler on Friday, September 14, 2001

This is an old but timeless exposition on how things can go wrong writing C programs
on Unbix (and other) systems. Although it pre-dates standard C and
using prototypes allows you to avoid many of the problems, there are simply
new ways to abuse the system. Well worth a read, even nearly 20 years later
