OpenZFS Bug Ported to Zig

Read Original

This technical article examines a significant bug from the OpenZFS codebase. The author ports the original buggy C function to the Zig programming language to test whether Zig's compiler and tooling (like `zig fmt`) would catch the error. The post details the porting process and shows that Zig's strict compilation immediately flags a redeclaration issue, highlighting a difference in language safety and developer tooling.
