gollark: Your phone is probably only doing video decoding, which it likely has dedicated hardware for.
gollark: I was intending to make it catch segfaults and mmap in a new region or something to make them not segfault. Unfortunately, this *apparently* invokes vast amounts of horrible undefined behavior and "isn't allowed" and "will summon nasal demons which will destroy everything".
gollark: Unfortunately, my excellent code appears to not work properly.```c#include <stdio.h>#include <signal.h>#include <string.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <sys/mman.h>#include <unistd.h>static void handler(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *utterly_worthless_argument) { printf("oh bees segfault %08x\n", info->si_addr); int ps = getpagesize(); long ad = (long)info->si_addr; ad = ad - (ad % ps); mmap((void*)ad, 0x10000, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);}int main() { struct sigaction sa; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_NODEFER; sa.sa_sigaction = handler; sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL); *(int*)NULL = -3; printf("thing done\n"); return 0;}```
gollark: Why are people not arbitraging this?
gollark: I don't think you can do that without extra hardware.
