Are we shooting ourselves in the foot with stack overflows?
If I'm reading the testimony correctly, there is actually no evidence that a stack overflow caused unintended acceleration. The idea is that Toyota used 94% of the stack, and they had recursive functions. If (big if) the recursive functions used enough stack to cause an overflow, memory corruption could happen. If (big if) that memory corruption happened in exactly the right way, it could corrupt variables controlling acceleration. And then, maybe, unintended acceleration could occur.<p>But that's a far cry from the stack overflow actually causing any cases of unintended acceleration.
