The thing about this Raymond Chen article about a major anti-virus vendor doing code like "memcpy(allocedMemory, function1, (char *)function2-(char *)function1); (((void)()*)allocedMemory)();" is that it's been years since any coding I've done has had to know all of the reasons why that's a really bad idea, but as I fumble through abstractions of Promises and whatnot those neurons miss their exercise...
