πŸ””πŸ””πŸ”” My April 1st fun last night: a new C++ Undefined Sanitizer runtime: The ␇ Runtime Every time you exercise UB, a bell chimes. Unless you're on macOS, in which case is says out loud which UB you've encountered, and then taunts you. reviews.llvm.org/D77219 πŸ””πŸ””πŸ””

I remember getting the idea for the UB bell from twitter but couldn’t find the origin! Turns out @olafurw was my muse, in the response to this silly idea πŸ™ πŸ””

I want a programming language which uses the ASCII BEL character ('\a', 0x7, ␇) for something. A few ideas: βˆ™ Pattern matching (sound on each match!) βˆ™ Abort (sound when the program dies!) What else would work well?

Can I get a compiler that will essentially run `std::cout << "Undefined Behavior\n";` Anytime it encounters one? As a kind of a shame tactic or a way to tease the dev and make them madly try to find it? The old adage "Remove all warnings" can be turned into "Remove all UB"

I remember this ring-a-bell-on-UB idea coming from twitter ~2 years ago, I think a shitpost with @johnregehr, but I can’t find the original source!

Should I open an issue if UB doesn't ring a bell?
