That resembles some of my PowerShell waaay too much. If it wasn't for the cosmic ray thing, I thought this was my GitHub...
True
False
cosmic ray detected.
Any sane compiler will simplify this into
function cosmicRayDetector() {
while(true) {
}
}
C++ may further 'simplify' this into
function cosmicRayDetector() {
return
}
Iirc the issue was that while(true) would be removed while it should be replaced with ret and this caused a bug where the binary would execute next function
But I believe this way of cosmic ray detection would work
volatile bool condition = true;
while(condition) {
}
printf("Cosmic ray detected");
