alt Hacker NewsHow would you preempt the running program during malloc? Isn't there a well-defined reload point? Major red flags going up if your program can just change at any random point..
Also, didn't the article say explicitly that struct layout changes aren't supported??
There is a well-defined reload point—it’s the `subsecond::call` wrapper around `tick()`. But the hypothetical design that you seem to have in mind where this doesn’t exist would not have a well-defined reload point, so it would need to be able to preempt your program anywhere.
Layout changes are supported for structs that don’t persist across the well-defined reload point.
