Even after decades of working primarily in C, I still regularly make mistakes that lead to bugs. Before the widespread adoption of AI tools, the only practical ways to catch these issues were to rely on strict compiler warnings and aim for complete test coverage through a large suite of unit tests. These tests would cover virtually every condition and function, significantly increasing development time and effort. _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
