Right, but you apparently make it one.

libev is that and does just that - there are 45 assertions in the
(relatively short) code that mostly check user input.

That's the case with libev already.

True, which is why you probably shouldn't write in C, as you have trouble
understanding memory management and the rules of the C language regarding
what acessess are valid and what aren't.

man brain indeed - that proves your absolute incompetence. next time you
make stupid statements such as that, you are well advised to actually *read*
the code you are talking about.
