gollark: I was lazy, so it reads (can read) slightly outside of the LTS buffer.
gollark: I think `lts_length` is technically capable of causing segfaults in some situations too.
gollark: ```c#define REP(x) x x x x#define T1 "a"#define T2 REP(T1)#define T3 REP(T2)#define T4 REP(T3)#define T5 REP(T4)#define T6 REP(T5)#define T7 REP(T6)```This was part of my failed plan to implement hyperoperations in the preprocessor.
gollark: I said length TERMINATED.
gollark: ```cchar * lts_to_nullterminated(const char * apioform) { uint32_t len = lts_length(apioform); char * bee = malloc(len + 1); memcpy(bee, apioform, len); bee[len] = 0; // for purposes only return bee;}```Gaze upon my wondrous code.
