Computers are weird and non-deterministic.
I compile my code and it crashed before main. Recompile. Same again...and again.
Run it in lldb - it's crashing trying to execute the first bytes of the executable. Literally. I mean it's trying to execute the bytes that say "ELF".
So I readelf to find the proper start address, set a breakpoint there, and restart.
Now it works.
And now the executable works fine outside of lldb.
This computer is just carrying on like normal pretending that for 5-10 minutes it wasn't absolutely failing to run my code.
WTF?
