I've never seen so much goalpost shifting before Rust came along. Apparently leaks aren't unsafe in their world. Funny, because intelligent people used to consider all violations of memory constraints to be unsafe, and a leak is most definitely a violation.

@matthiskalble3621 A) Memory leaks aren't safe. B) Rust doesn't actually provide safety. First, you have FFI which violates safety constraints. Second, there's still a bug in the compiler which allows lifetime violations.

@sniglom Memory leaks aren't safe. So certainly it's violating memory safety to leak memory. Of course, Rust doesn't even provide memory safety because of both FFI and the fact that the compiler still has a bug with regards to lifetime management that allows lifetimes to be extended beyond the life of an object.

@lev3271 No one does. It's just that certain people have brainworms and think they need it. You can't fix these people because the worms have damaged their brains.

@mmstick You don't need to tell me that you don't have the most basic and rudimentary of knowledge on the subject, I already know you're stupid. Running out of memory because you leak everything leads to invalid accesses because morons like you don't bother to check the return value of the allocator. However, even were you to check, merely running out of memory is already all on its own a safety issue.
