Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?

(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.

In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.

Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th

Verifiable brute force strength

Below are table of various projects that can completely exhaust n-bits of keyspace. In other words, counting completely and fully from 0 to 2ⁿ-1.

This Gist implies no discussion about how this is relevant to quantum computing using Grover's algorithm, meet-in-the-middle or birthday attacks, or anything of the like. It's strictly a Gist about raw speed, measuring the result in bits.

If you know of other noteworthy and verifiable brute force searching projects,

C99 List of Undefined Behavior

From N1256: (See http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c99/n1256.html#J.2)

• A "shall" or "shall not" requirement that appears outside of a constraint is violated (clause 4).
• A nonempty source file does not end in a new-line character which is not immediately preceded by a backslash character or ends in a partial preprocessing token or comment (5.1.1.2).
• Token concatenation produces a character sequence matching the syntax of a universal character name (5.1.1.2).
• A program in a hosted environment does not define a function named main using one of the specified forms (5.1.2.2.1).
• A character not in the basic source character set is encountered in a source file, except in an identifier, a character constant, a string literal, a header name, a comment, or a preprocessing token that is never converted to a token (5.2.1).
• An identifier, comment, string literal, character constant, or header name contains an invalid multibyte character or does not
