Cosmic Rays?

You should add returns ray detected outside of while loop

That resembles some of my PowerShell waaay too much. If it wasn’t for the cosmic ray thing, I thought this was my GitHub…

Any sane compiler will simplify this into

<span style="color:#323232;">    function cosmicRayDetector() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      while(true) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span>

C++ may further ‘simplify’ this into

<span style="color:#323232;">    function cosmicRayDetector() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      return
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span>

Iirc the issue was that while(true) would be removed while it should be replaced with ret and this caused a bug where the binary would execute next function

But I believe this way of cosmic ray detection would work

<span style="color:#323232;">volatile bool condition = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">while(condition) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">printf("Cosmic ray detected");
</span>
