I wrote the compiler used internally by mumble company for their mumble language targeting their mumble product.
That compiler had plenty of bugs. :)
And one time (at a different company) we were having an issue with database updates to a SQLite database bizarrely failing in random circumstances. Turns out we found a bug in SQLite.
I admit my eye was immediately drawn to the long threads where regulars appear to be having discussions with a Jehovah’s Witness, who is also a regular who weighs in on threads about C sometimes.
Anyway, it still looks like a reasonably active group. That’s kind of cool.
Oh my.
I heard that in a George Takei voice.
A library function, not a one-off hack in a throwaway program.
Remember this people when you see the next agitated rant on unimportance of algorithms from someone asked to do an array sort at an interview.

“Turns out we found a bug in SQLite.”
Holy shit.
(For those not aware of SQLite’s reliability, this article is might interesting: https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html)
This was the bug:
http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/6bfb98dfc0c
Found by an engine generated by this:
https://github.com/deadpixi/giles
which produces some hairy SQL.
Uh… pretty sure it’s still there…
I checked.
You’re correct! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.c

That was interesting. If what we build thins with is broken, how can we build programs at all indeed.
