Prefixing "delete" with "::" limits it to looking up the dealloc func in the global namespace, rather than in the scope of the ptr's type

Since you never call the class dealloc func (which would call the global dealloc func with the correct size), the global dealloc func is used with sizeof(*ptr)

So it almost certainly isn't generating any value, but those also aren't the words he said

It's deeply worthless. Dangerous even if the user isn't fluent in the subject they're using it for, because some level of fluency is sometimes necessary to identify how bad its codegen is.

After a month of working with Copilot I'm forced to assume anyone singing its praises is a grifter.

Trying to think of Linux as a consumer ecosystem is fundamentally broken.

It's not an Apple or Android device, it's not a packaged product. It's a building block used by professionals.

It's like going to a lumber yard and complaining about the fracturing of the wood ecosystem.
