Pretty critical PR for rust-msi is getting held up because the maintainer understands the intent but not why this works (github.com)

Not to throw shade, just wishing that somebody here can understand. Whenever an input is reasonably long, an analyzing function will crash, and this PR aims to fix that with a mechanism that contradicts the maintainer's understanding while a similar C implementation does not need this fix. ~~Clearly, the maintainer has not heard a certain programming mantra...~~

Incidentally, this kind of passive-aggressive pressure is the kind of thing that might be considered a legitimate security threat, post xz. If you need to vent, vent in private. If "it works for you" but the maintainer is asking legitimate questions about the implementation, consider engaging with that in good faith and evaluating their questions with an open mind.

Yes, OP's attempt to bully a maintainer into accepting his PR is a very shitty thing to do.

Throwing veiled personal attacks, such as insinuating a developer is incompetent or dumb, is also very bad form.

This says more about OP than anything. I hope I never have to work with anyone like that. What a shit show of a person.
