Vegas is the last place I ever expected to visit. And yet, I wound up tucking myself into the corner of the Wireless Village for three days, absorbing excellent talks on the state of wireless hackery. Though I hadn't planned to try any of the challenges, I got drawn into @dntlookbehindu's (aka Russ) "SDR Roulette".
Russ purchased a dog collar to analyze the wireless communication between remote

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.
In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.
Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th
This is a mini-tutorial of sorts for getting started with gdb on the Switch, with the target audience being people who want to mod and/or reverse games, with no prerequisite knowledge of gdb. The goal will be to walk you through some of the basic workflows needed to use a debugger on the Switch, while being brief enough for skimming for when you forget things.
If some part is unclear, your OS doesn't have install instructions, or you feel part of your workflow should be added here, feel free to comment any additions.
(If you only need a quick reference Jump to the Appendix)
First off you'll need a version of GDB compatible with aarch64. This can be obtained via either a distribution of

Note
If you want a more complete experience and already tried the Xvnc tutorial, maybe you should try the WSLg (Xwayland) instead.
Warning
This is a work in progress tutorial. Things done here may break existing functionality, so be careful!
In this tutorial, we will install and use a full GNOME Desktop environment in WSL2, without any external software. The only requirement is a working WSLg installation. At the moment, the instructions are only for Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04 and 24.04) distros and GNOME, but you can request me to test other distros and desktop environments.
