Undefined behavior in C and C++


Details
Hello everyone. Welcome to our next meetup at Nexer.
There will be a presentation this time by Carlos Gálvez on the topic of undefined behavior in C and C++.
Abstract
Undefined Behavior is a controversial and sometimes misunderstood feature of some programming languages, like C and C++. When a program contains Undefined Behavior, "anything can happen". This often manifests itself into subtle errors that are quite hard to reason about, and time-consuming to debug.
In this talk, we'll walk through Undefined Behavior for C and C++. After a short introduction of what it actually is and why it exists, we'll showcase a few interesting examples where Undefined Behavior causes the program to behave in unexpected ways. Finally, some strategies for detecting and mitigating the risks of Undefined Behavior will be presented.
