Secure Coding Poem

Writen by Andrew Myers, called the Gashlycode Tinies, and
it encapsulates a bunch of failures to follow important rules.
It’s inspired by the Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.

A is for Amy whose malloc was one byte short.
B is for Basil who used a quadratic sort.
C is for Chuck who checked floats for equality.
D is for Desmond who double-freed memory.
E is for Ed whose exceptions weren’t handled.
F is for Franny whose stack pointers dangled.
G is for Glenda whose reads and writes raced.
H is for Hans who forgot the base case.
I is for Ivan who did not initialize.
J is for Jenny who did not know Least Surprise.
K is for Kate whose inheritance depth might shock.
L is for Larry who never released a lock.
M is for Meg who used negatives as unsigned.
N is for Ned with behavior left undefined.
O is for Olive whose index was off by one.
P is for Pat who ignored buffer overrun.
Q is for Quentin whose numbers had overflows.
R is for Rhoda whose code left the rep exposed.
S is for Sam who skipped retesting after wait.
T is for Tom who lacked TCP_NODELAY.
U is for Una whose functions were most verbose.
V is for Vic who subtracted when floats were close.
W is for Winnie who aliased arguments.
X is for Xerxes who thought type casts made good sense.
Y is for Yorick who’s interface was too wide.
Z is Zack whose code nulls were often spied.
