These are easily one of my favourite types of posts (and this one was particularly gratifying). I wish I could go down these rabbit holes every day!
> [...] and why heterogeneous platforms are important
This prompts me to wonder vaguely whether there's any untapped juice in fuzzing approaches that might be relevant here. As in, how much of the platform (including configuration and heuristics, and so on) could be fuzzed as program input?
Thank you, glad you appreciated the post! I love writing up debugging/incident reports and this one was just really fun.
Regarding fuzzing... maybe? I've wondered that a couple of times myself but in reality there are really just a finite number of platforms, and so much of this is determined at compile time by library call availability. But I'm probably not thinking as deeply about this as someone could be, and I'd be interested to hear other folks' thoughts.
