What Hacker News says

1 sources
I haven't spent much time browsing through the source but the code quality and security is pretty dismal so far. Not to mention the confusing project structure. Magic numbers, ... and strings, all over the place [0]. Memory leak galore (debug code?) [1]. Probably buffer overflows all over the place, here's one I noticed [2]. I suspect others given the proliferation of opaque pointers and memcpy usage. [0] https://github.com/skypeopensource/skypeopensource2/blob/mas...
