We recently integrated new functionality into our CrowdStrike Falcon sensor that was implemented in Rust. Rust is a relatively young language with several features focused on safety and security. Calling Rust from C++ was relatively straightforward, but one stumbling block we’ve run into is how Rust deals with out-of-memory (OOM) conditions.

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot more things at the command line. I’m not a hard-core terminal guy – I use VSCode more than Vim – but I’m always surprised at the number of complex tasks that can be done using just the POSIX standard command-line tools like
grep,catandsort.Tools are powerful. A good tool makes work easier and faster, and a great tool unlocks new abilities: Previously impossible things become possible and sometimes easy.
As I’ve learned more, I’ve been adding some new tools to my command-line toolbox, and in this article, I’d like to share some I’ve found valuable.

Extensions in Swift are great. We can extend structs, classes, enums, etc., whether we own the code or not, in almost any way we need. This enables us to do easier initializations, mapping, convenience functions, protocol implementation (one of my favorites) and more. There is only one problem.
