But if the material is thin and you are just sewing 2 layers, you can sew vinyl with a regular machine. We have 2 blog posts where we used a type of vinyl to make something.

Carole used clear plastic sheeting to make a transparent pouch. Check out blog post and tutorial HERE. I, An, made some little faux leather accessories this summer. Click HERE to go to this tutorial:. Before you start sewing with vinyl, read these tips to prepare the fabric, set up your machine, and gather the right tools.

Always preshrink the fabric you are using. Yes, even some vinyls can shrink. But be extra careful. If you are not sure how to wash this fabric, check the manufacturer's instructions and determine whether your material is dry-clean only or not. You can even test it yourself with a little scrap. Some materials may need to be hung or gently warmed to remove creases or other storage marks.

Stitch length: Use a longer stitch length than you would usually use on regular fabric. With tiny stitches, threads can tangle, break, or your machine or can start skipping stitches. This will weaken the vinyl and make it prone to tearing. A stitch length of 3 mm is a good rule of thumb, but you need to run some tests before you can determine what works best with your particular material.

Needle : Vinyl fabric puts more stress on your needle than a lightweight cotton, so choose a heavier needle. A denim, leather needle, or a number 90 will do the trick. Make sure to test your needle tension before you start as you might need to adjust to a lower setting. The holes you make are permanent. Use sewing clips instead. Ripping out stitches is also a no-no. I never backstitch with vinyl. If your sewing machine is having difficulty sewing vinyl, try placing a sheet of standard gift-wrapping tissue between your fabric and your presser foot.

The tissue is lightweight, translucent, and will help your sewing machine glide the sticky vinyl through. The best part? Vinyl coating will not keep your fabric from shrinking or warping in the wash. Since different types of vinyl can vary so drastically in care, cut a 6" square and wash it before attempting to pre-shrink the bulk of your vinyl. This small test will show you if the plastic coating separates from the cotton of your fabric in the wash, if it buckles and warps, etc… it will give you some insight into how to care for your fabric once your project is complete.

Just like any project, use a scrap piece of fabric to test the stitch length and overall settings on your sewing machine before you start. I sincerely hope this little guide gave you some helpful takeaways and handy tips that will help jumpstart your next vinyl sewing project.

Now that you know how to prep your machine, how to spot quality vinyl before you begin, and more knowledge about the different Vinyl variations, your next project will be easier than ever!

Of course, if you experience dragging, your sewing experience will not be pleasant. Vinyl has a sticky surface, and this can cause it to adhere to your presser foot as you sew. But this will not happen with a Teflon-coated foot. The coating serves as a barrier between the surface of the vinyl and the bottom of the presser foot. Besides a walking foot and a Teflon-coated foot, you can also use a non-stick foot or a roller foot.

All types of vinyl share the common property of being water-resistant. PVC is an abbreviation that means polyvinyl chloride. PVC fabrics with light coating are used for making clothes, while those with heavy coating are for industrial uses. Oilcloths are made from cotton mesh with thick layers of PVC. This type of vinyl does not require serious maintenance, and it is usually used for crafts by kids. Of course, they come in bright colors and fun patterns, hence their popularity with kids.

This type of vinyl looks like animal hide, but it is relatively cheaper. Artificial leather is available in many textures, thickness, style, and pattern. When high-quality cotton is covered with a thin layer of polyurethane, you get laminated fabric. This vinyl is lightweight, thin, and quite flexible.

So, the best needle for sewing vinyl are leather needles from Schmetz and Klasse. However, if you want to sew 10 vinyl bags in a row, I recommend that you invest in a basic industrial sewing machine which is faster and can work more smoothly when it comes to sewing with vinyl. But if you want to just purchase one machine that would last forever and help you in sewing vinyl bags, then I suggest you go for a cylinder arm industrial machine which is THE best sewing machine for sewing vinyl bags.

The best threads for sewing with vinyl are all-purpose polyester threads. However, if you would like your top-stitches to be prominent, you can use a heavy-duty thick thread, like this one. When sewing bags that are all vinyl, follow all the tips mentioned above as well as add fusible fleece to the back as you would do on a normal fabric bag but you can skip medium weight interfacing.

Since folding vinyl fabric adds crease lines to it, you cannot fold it the same way as you fold other fabrics. Instead, you should store vinyl by rolling it on cardboard rolls and securing with a rubber band or a ribbon. I use a large basket, something like this in the corner of my room to keep all my vinyl rolls together which prevents them from getting creased. If you really want to learn to sew leather bags in depth, you might like this leather bag making class.

However, if you are out at work during the day you may prefer to install a cat flap. The local environment will dictate what rules you put in place regarding any time limits on access outside. You may wish to confine your kitten or cat at twilight so that it can remain indoors at night, or limit its access outside at times when traffic may be busy locally. Because of potential infection with diseases such as enteritis or cat flu, your kitten should not be allowed outside until at least a week after it has finished its first course of vaccinations at about weeks old depending on the vaccine.

You could then let it explore outside if it is supervised. Once it is fully vaccinated and has become used to living in your house, you can start to let your kitten go outside a bit more. However, before you allow your kitten free access outdoors, make sure it has been neutered at around 4 months.

You should also ensure your garden is safe for your kitten first by covering any ponds, blocking up any holes in the fencing and removing any potentially hazardous garden substances or objects, such as wood preservatives, insecticides, sharp implements etc. You then have a little bit of control when you go outside to call them in. Choose a dry day if possible and a quiet time when you can accompany your kitten outside, allowing it to explore the new environment. Continue to accompany your kitten until it is used to your garden and can find its way back to the house without difficulty.

It is best not to leave your kitten outside alone until it is 6 months old and it is essential that it is neutered from 4 months of age before allowing it unsupervised access. If you have adopted an adult cat you probably will have been advised to keep it in for weeks to settle into its new home. Are there any dogs living next door? What is the family schedule like? Will someone be home to let my cat in if she feels threatened or would she have to remain outside?

These are all important questions to ask yourself if you are considering this important lifestyle change for your cat. If you would like to give your kitten the opportunity to explore the natural world, there are a few additional considerations to keep in mind. While you may be eager for your adorable companion to get some sunshine and fresh air, there is no need to rush the experience. The outdoor world is indeed very large, very exciting and perhaps even a bit scary to a little kitten, so it is all the more important that you respect certain safety considerations before letting her out of your apartment or house.

Once you have considered the relative pros and cons of an outdoor environment for your cat, you may decide that it is better for her to stay in. This is a perfectly valid decision. Remember, ultimately you are the best judge of what is right for your cat given your particular living environment and her needs.

However, it is best to be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of leaving your cat inside. You will feel better about making an informed decision, and you will likely communicate this positive attitude to your cat and any other family members.

There are a number of simple steps you can take to help create a positive, safe, stimulating environment for your cat. Most of these are relatively easy to set up and inexpensive. Now, that you have gotten an overview of the main issues to consider when deciding what is best for your cat, the indoor or outdoor life, you are in a much better position to make a decision that will work in the long run for both your cat and you.

Cats can be happy and healthy whether they live indoors or outdoors as long as you pay close attention to meeting the full range of their physical, psychological and emotional needs, and take the necessary precautionary measures to keep them safe and stimulated throughout the different stages of their life.

Keeping Her Inside. Outdoor cats undoubtedly have more opportunity to get physical activity through climbing, running, or exploring. Free to roam or simply explore a limited outdoor space, your cat has naturally less chance of gaining weight. Outdoors, your cat is totally free to engage in instinctive behavior such as scratching that you may not appreciate indoors on your furniture or brand new curtains.

The outdoor environment offers countless opportunities for your inquisitive cat to explore wider spaces and encounter new sights, smells, tastes, textures and experiences, stimulating her natural curiosity and wellbeing You can create a natural litter for your cat in a protected area of the garden, in addition to her usual indoor litter for rainy days and at night.

She may also enjoy having her own corner of the garden planted with long grass to hide and roll in. Cars are one of the greatest risks to your cat outdoors. Busy roads are especially dangerous but a cat may also be surprised and hurt by a car on a quiet country road. Cats are also at risk of hiding under the bonnet of a car. Your cat may wander too far and get lost. However, avoid putting a collar on her to prevent any risk of strangulation. Depending on where you live, other animals such as foxes, dogs, and especially other potentially aggressive rival cats are also a potential threat to your cat.

Outdoor cats are much more exposed to contracting infectious diseases especially through fighting with other cats. Toxic substances such as slug pellets, anti-freeze or rat poison, are also dangerous. Some common garden plants and flowers such as lilies or poinsettia are toxic for your cat. Outside your cat is more exposed to common parasites such as ticks and worms. Regularly treat your cat with flea, tick and worming medication.

Get your cat micro-chipped. Doing this can also encourage them not to wander too far. In preparation for letting your cat outside, you can try to teach them to come to you when called, using treats.

When your cat comes to you, give them a treat. Repeat this process several times in different locations around the house until your cat always comes and finds you when you call their name.

If your cat is initially reluctant to come when called, try doing this around feeding time when they are expecting to get fed and may be more eager to approach you for food. For more information, have a look at our advice on basic cat training.

Go outside and leave the door to the house open so that your cat is able to join you but can also quickly get back inside if they want. You should build up the length of time your cat is outside over a few sessions. When your cat seems comfortable and relaxed being outside, you can start to let them come and go unaccompanied. The best way to give your cat consistent and predictable access to the outdoors when they need it is to install a cat flap in a door or window.

You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance, or employment — or to take another adverse action against you — must tell you, and must give you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.

Eggless chocolate ca Manual wheatgrass juicers can look a bit like meat grinders, and tend to include a handle that you grind, along with a pestle-type implement to push the grass down. Manual wheatgrass juicers can sometimes only be really used for wheatgrass, so if you splurge on a juicer, you may want to get an electric juicer so you can use it for juicing other vegetables as well.

Electric juicers blend the grass more easily, but they require a bit more cleanup. If you get an electric juicer, make sure you get a masticating one. A centrifugal juicer will not juice wheatgrass at all. Feed the wheatgrass into the juicer. Now, just feed the wheatgrass into the juicer. For most juicers, you'll have to fill them a little bit at a time, so you don't cram the juicer and make it difficult to juice the wheatgrass.

The juicer will then have a place for the juice to be collected, as well as a place for the pulp to go. Pour the juice from the juicer into a glass and enjoy. You should be all done juicing your wheatgrass. Though a juicer for wheatgrass or a juicer in general can get a bit pricy, if you're really committed to juicing wheatgrass regularly, it can make a real difference in your life. After you pour it into a glass and enjoy a portion of delicious wheatgrass juice, all you have to do is clean up your juicer and you're all done.

Method 3. If you are unaccustomed to the taste of wheatgrass, however, or if you find it overpowering, dilute the juice more by using 3 cups milliliters of water instead. If you like, you can substitute the water with fresh-squeezed orange juice or coconut juice instead. This can give the wheatgrass shot you'll be preparing a bit more flavor.

Blend the wheatgrass and water together using the highest speed. Blending for about 60 seconds should suffice. You should be left with an emerald green juice with chunks of pulp floating at the surface. This will not be an issue in most cases, and you can simply clean the blades of your blender after you finish getting the juice out. Pay attention to possible signs of trouble, though, like a slowing blade or the sounds of a struggling motor.

If you suspect that the wheatgrass is clogging your blender, you may need to fish out the wayward wheatgrass before you continue blending. Place a mesh strainer over a clean glass bowl. The strainer should have fine gaps, and it should be no larger than the mouth of the bowl you place it over.

Line the strainer with cheesecloth. The cheesecloth should be large enough to hang over the sides of your strainer. Pour the wheatgrass from your blender through the cheesecloth and strainer. Most of the liquid should flow through without much effort on your part. Using a rubber spatula, press down on the wheatgrass pulp to squeeze out additional juice. This juice should also flow through the cheesecloth and into the container. Continue pressing down on the wheatgrass until no more juice comes out.

Squeeze juice from a lemon half into the bowl of wheatgrass juice. The lemon is only optional, but it enhances the flavor of the wheatgrass while preserving the juice a little longer.

Mix with a spatula or spoon to combine. This can be especially useful if you stick to water instead of using juice for your blended mix. Transfer the wheatgrass from the container into glasses to enjoy. Serve it chilled or with ice. Wheatgrass can be best enjoyed in shot form. Method 4. Place enough chopped wheatgrass into the mortar to fill the bottom. If it's too full, then you won't be able to fully grind it. Grind the blades.

Use the pestle to thoroughly grind the blades until they begin to stick together and smear along the bottom of the mortar. Apply the pestle using a stirring motion, and press with enough force to crush the grass. Wheat grass juice is generally not made with commercial vegetable juicers. The fibrous nature of grass does not align itself well to the usual method of juicing leafy greens, cucumbers, and fruits. Instead, there are juicers specifically designed to work with the nature of wheat grass.

They press the grasses instead of grinding them and applying centrifugal force. Manual grass juicers also ensure that heat and oxidation are kept to a minimum, in order to preserve the many benefits of the juice.

Wheat grass juice is most beneficial directly after juicing. While it can be made in larger quantities and refrigerated or frozen, it is optimal to juice in single batches. Cut the wheatgrass stalks with a sharp pair of scissors just above the soil, or just above the root system of hydroponic wheatgrass. Place the wheatgrass stalks in the canister of the blender and add an equal amount of water.

You may also use more water for a milder, more palatable beverage. Strain out the wheatgrass pulp by pouring the wheatgrass and water mix through a few sheets of cheesecloth.

Discard or compost the pulp. Consume the wheatgrass juice immediately. Wheatgrass juice is often added to fruit smoothies or juice blends.

I'm a night owl and married to a musician who often gets home quite late. So for me, getting to work at 7 a. I used to feel horridly inferior to the folks who got up at 5 am and conked out at 9 pm-even though I don't think I worked any fewer hours than they did, just later ones. Then one day I got a contract to write a book on a newsy subject and I had only one month to do it. Under that extreme deadline pressure, my ideas about the hours I "should" work went out the window and I had no choice but to figure out a schedule that actually allowed me to function during a crunch project.

That turned out be starting late morning, working till early evening, taking a couple hours' break for exercise, dinner, and socializing, and then back to work till late night. That's still the rhythm that works best for me. What works for you may be completely different.

My point is, you should listen to your own inner clock and structure your day accordingly. Take yesterday. I posted a column to this site, interviewed the fascinating Emerson Spartz , spent time promoting my work and connecting with my network on social media, caught up on a couple of days' worth of email, had a two-hour meeting with a financial advisor, and sent a pitch on a complex technology topic to Computerworld.

That's a pretty decent workday, but there were still three items left on my daily to-do list at the end of it. I could have let it upset me but I didn't. Determining that the low- and middle-market data-storage segments might experience rapid growth, EMC took aggressive action. The team and its executive sponsor may well need to serve as evangelists for the plan.

Executives are typically bombarded by emerging technologies, most of which will not amount to serious competitive threats and deserve to be ignored. Compounding the difficulty, diverse organizational constituencies bring different biases to the problem and honestly disagree about what is a genuine threat as opposed to a false alarm.

On the other hand, the people in new business development worry that waiting too long to invest in the next wave will destroy the company. But it does get a group of smart, opinionated managers to sit down together to think systematically about threats to the core business, and to surface ideas about how to avert or co-opt those threats.

People inside corporations get so anxious about serious external threats that they have trouble looking at them dispassionately. The rigor that this process imposes can spell the difference between flailing around and acting effectively in the face of a serious competitive threat.

Typically, the disrupter offers lower performance and less functionality at a much lower price. And gradually, the new product or process improves to the point where it displaces the incumbent. Disruptive innovations enter the market and gain leverage in a surprisingly predictable way. Second, the insurgent enters the main market if it succeeds in overcoming barriers to entry such as incumbent patents and access to channels and capital.

Fourth, customers will change suppliers, if their switching costs are not too substantial. Finally, the incumbent is displaced to some degree; this can range from minor annoyance to total destruction.

As the diagram suggests, the disruption can fail during any of these stages—so an incumbent should take the time to assess the likelihood that an insurgent could clear each stage successfully. Is Disruption a Genuine Threat? The methodology includes two components: an analytical instrument and an organizational process. At each stage of the disruption process, a variety of factors makes the disruption more or less likely to succeed.

The incumbent may hold a patent that can block an insurgent from entering the main market, for example. Our instrument helps managers analyze the six stages of the disruption process by identifying, rating, and weighting the contributing factors in each stage. Library of Contributing Factors At each stage of the disruption process, some common factors can make a disruptive innovation more or less likely to occur, including the following:.

Each contributing factor is stated on the left in its disabling condition and on the right in its enabling condition. In rating a contributing factor, the assessment group determines where along the continuum the disrupter lies. Since not all the factors being rated will have the same level of influence, you need to weight each factor.

You calculate the weighted score for each contributing factor by multiplying the raw rating by the weight. Then you can find the score for that particular stage of the disruption process. It is simply the average score of all the factors divided by the average weight. In our example, the score is 1. After calculating the scores for all six stages, you can graph the disruptiveness profile.

This is a visual representation of the final scores for all six stages with the disabling forces on the left and enabling forces on the right. It shows the rating and final scores for all six stages of the disruption process.

First, you need to identify and describe the potential disruption. This task may involve more than the direct substitution of one product for another. In cases involving more than mere substitution, you must name and describe a constellation of insurgents.

And you have to start thinking about timing during this step; for instance, you need to assess if a potential disruption is, say, one, three, or five years out. Next, the assessment project needs an executive champion, a group leader, and an assessment team. We also learn of our tendency to accuse others of having bad character when they behave badly, rather than considering environmental factors that may have influenced their behavior. Our behavior can be easily redirected by environmental cues and circumstances, though we more often recognize these environmental influences when we ourselves behave badly than when others do.

Understanding this bias can help us in our attempts to help people change their problematic behavior—such as a child who is not studying. Gilovich and Ross go through many of the most important discoveries in social psychology research and explain how they work.

In their final chapters, they apply this research to important issues of our time, such as increasing human happiness, reducing conflict between groups, educating at-risk youth, and combating climate change. We learn that to increase happiness, we should spend on experiences rather than possessions, try to savor peak experiences, and give to others rather than give in to indulging ourselves.

To reduce conflicts, we must understand how our naive realism thwarts our ability to compromise. To educate at-risk youth, we must teach a growth mindset and tie achievement to personal goals. And, to reduce resistance to combating climate change, we must tweak our joint sense of purpose by creating a community of individuals doing their part. Create an account. Edit this Article.

Make the first move to open the lines of communication. If you feel comfortable, talk to them in person. However, you can also contact them online or via text message. Invite them to meet you in a neutral location. That means they may feel nervous about meeting up with you. Pick a place where neither of you have strong ties so that you can both feel like equals. However, it might be best to avoid asking them to meet you at your lunch table or at your home.

Wanna come? Give them a reason to see you as a friend. Let them know that you want to make up. Maybe we could try being friends. Look for common ground that you can use to build a friendship. While you and your enemy may have differences, you likely have some things in common. Talk to them to learn more about them. Then, find common interests that unite you.

Having mutual friends will help you and your enemy become better friends. Reach out to their friend group and invite them to do a group activity. You can do this before or after you reach out to your enemy to open the lines of communication. Part 2.

If you are suspended from work due to alleged disciplinary matters, it is naturally a concerning time for you. You will not usually be permitted to work or attend work premises, nor have contact with colleagues or customers which may make you feel isolated.

You will probably not know, at least at the outset, the precise duration of the suspension. Furthermore, your employer will still usually require you to be available to attend any investigation meeting or answer work queries during your suspension. There is not any legislation about suspension but there is ACAS guidance [ click here to read this ] on this area for employers.

In addition, employers have a duty not to act in a way that would breach the implied contractual duty of trust and confidence with employees, nor to discriminate on the grounds of Protected Characteristics sex, race, disability etc. People are usually suspended from work by their employer in the context of a disciplinary investigation.

However, it is also possible, although less common, for a worker to be suspended on medical grounds or, where a risk to a new or expectant mother has been identified in the workplace. This article focuses on disciplinary suspension. Very simply, it is where an employee continues to be employed and so is generally entitled to continue receiving pay and benefits ,but does not have to attend their place of work or do any work.

Suspension should always be used as a neutral response by an employer and never as a disciplinary sanction. An employer must not suspend purely because they assume an individual is guilty of wrongdoing.

Suspension might be beneficial to an individual, to remove them from a stressful situation for example, but it must not be an automatic, knee jerk reaction by an employer to every potential disciplinary matter. Acas has published guidance which states that suspension must only be considered by an employer if there is a serious allegation of misconduct and :. If the disciplinary allegation is of a less serious nature, or none of these issues are relevant then your employer should not be considering suspension.

Obviously, your employer needs to let you know that they intend to suspend you. However, the suspension and its terms should always be confirmed in writing afterwards. There is no set amount of notice that an employer must give an employee to warn them that they are being suspended, but they must always act in accordance with any relevant disciplinary policy.

However, it is rare for standard policies to require employees be given a warning before suspension. Any written notice confirming suspension should include the following information:. Acas recommends that employers carefully consider all other options before suspending an employee. These options could include, on a temporary basis:. Acas therefore recommends that, where possible, the suspension and the reason behind it should be kept confidential. It is also recommended that the employer discusses with the suspended employee how they would like it to be explained to colleagues and customers.

No, not unless there is an unambiguous contractual right for the employer to suspend without pay and benefits i.

But it is already too late. Somewhere in memory, there is corrupted data. In addition, it is not clear what data is corrupted and what consequences it may have! Is the compiler to blame, that it rearranged the assignment operations? The programmer let the dereferencing of a null pointer happen and thereby led the program in the undefined behavior state. In this particular case, the undefined behavior of a program will be that somewhere in the memory data is corrupted.

Based on the axiom, any null pointer dereference is undefined behavior of a program. There is no such thing as a "harmless" undefined behavior. Any undefined behavior is unacceptable.

Do not allow dereferencing of pointers, which the malloc function and its analogs returned, without their prior check. Do not rely on any other ways to catch the dereferencing of a null pointer. You should only use the good old if operator. The thing, which is perceived as not an error by one programmers, is a vulnerability for others. This is the exact situation which happens in case of null pointer dereference. Others believe that dereferencing of a null pointer cause denial-of-service and represents a vulnerability.

Instead of nominal handling the memory lack, a program, or one of the program threads completes its work. This can lead to loss of data, data integrity, and so on. In other words, the CAD system will simply close, if it is not be able to allocate memory for any complex operation without offering the user to even save the results of its work. I wouldn't like to be unfounded, so here are the proofs. So, the application developers consider the absence of a check after calling calloc as a vulnerability CVE All the fixed fragments which could contain null pointer dereference were approximately the same:.

If you are developing not a very significant application for which a crash during its work is not a trouble, then yes, it is not needed to write checks. However, if you are developing a library, the lack of checks is unacceptable! Not only lazy programmers, who write irresponsible applications, like a Tetris game, can use your library. We must take care both about normal programmers, and normal programs.

Therefore, I ideologically disagree with, for example, Carsten Haitzler, that in the library of EFL Core there are no checks see article. This doesn't let programmers build reliable applications based on such libraries. In general, if you are creating a library, please note that in some applications, dereferencing of a null pointer is a vulnerability. You must handle memory allocation errors and nominally return the information about the failure.

Those who feel lazy to write checks, think that dereferencing affects exactly null pointers. Yes, it often happens this way. But can a developer vouch for the entire code application? I'm sure, no. I'm going to show what I mean with practical examples. Check lines: 65, Right after allocation of memory buffer, a record happens in the cell TheTable[NumBuckets].

If the value of the variable NumBuckets is great enough, we'll taint some data with unpredictable consequences. After such damage, it generally makes no sense to speculate how the program will run. There may be the most unexpected consequences. Therefore, this is not a unique case, but quite a typical situation when data is written not exactly by a null pointer, and by a random shift.

I will continue the correspondence discussion with Carsten Haitzler. He argues that they understand what they are doing when they don't check the result of the malloc function call. No, they don't. Let's take a look, for example, at the code fragment from the EFL library:.

Therefore, the code or line numbers may no longer match to what there is now. However, it is not that essential for telling my story. Here we have a typical situation: there is not enough space for data storing in a buffer, it should be increased.

To increase the size of the buffer the realloc function is used, which may return NULL. Let's take a look at these lines:. In memory some data will be corrupted, but the program will run anyway. The effects are unpredictable again and there will be no good for sure. I wasn't carefully studying the old report on EFL Core Libraries, but this is definitely not the only error. I noticed at least two similar places where after realloc data is recorded to an index.

I'm asking the question once again: "Where's the guarantee that dereferencing of exactly a null pointer will occur? No such guarantees. It is impossible, developing or modifying code, to remember about a nuance considered lately. You can easily spoil something in memory, in doing so the program continues executing as nothing happened.

The only way to write reliable and correct code is to always check the result that is returned by the malloc function. Check and live a peaceful life. I understand perfectly about realloc and everything else that is written in the article. But I am a professional and, allocating memory, I just fill it with zeros using memset at once.

Where it is necessary I use checks. But I'm not going to write the extra checks after each malloc. Generally, to fill the memory immediately after buffer allocation is quite a weird idea. It is strange because there is a function calloc. However, people act like this very often. You don't need to look very far in order to get examples, here is the code from the WebRTC library, used in Chromium:. Memory is allocated, then the buffer is filled with zeros. It's a very common practice, although, in fact, two lines can be reduced to one using calloc.

But it doesn't matter. The main thing is that even such code is not secure! And if a large buffer was allocated, some useful data could be cleared. But there is no point to handle them anyway. By that moment, a large fragment of memory will be corrupted and the following work of the program will be unpredictable. The reader might argue that all this is purely theoretical. Yes, the memset function could theoretically fill the buffer starting from the end of the buffer, but in practice, nobody will realize this function this way.

I would agree that this implementation of memset is really exotic, and I even asked a question on StackOverflow about this topic. This is the reply:. The Linux kernel's memset for the SuperH architecture has this property: link. Unfortunately, this is the code on the unfamiliar type of assembler, so I'm not going to speculate about it.

But still there is such an interesting implementation in the C programming language. I will cite the beginning of the function:.

Here we come to the reason N1 "Dereferencing of a null pointer is undefined behavior". There is no guarantee that the compiler will not interchange the assignments. Memory successfully allocated using calloc. Calloc Memory successfully freed. In other words, if the memory previously allocated with the help of malloc or calloc is insufficient, realloc can be used to dynamically re-allocate memory.

Just because it's unknown how much memory is needed at compile time, doesn't mean the heap has to be involved. Matt Joiner, that was ONE example.
