This file contains code that, when run on Python 2.7.5 or earlier, creates
a string that should not exist: u'\Udeadbeef'. That's a single "character"
that's illegal in Python because it's outside the valid Unicode range.

It then uses it to crash various things in the Python standard library and
corrupt a database.

On Python 3... well, this file is full of syntax errors on Python 3. But
if you were to change the print statements and byte literals and stuff:

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

• No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
• I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
• Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
• My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
• If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le
