I started lab 3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and wrote a program that responded to Control-R, but on my Mac the same binary doesn't work. I think the core issue is how XQuartz handles Control-R (funky reverse i search?). Help? Please?

The following code causes the compiler to freeze: char* ptr = 0; ptr += 1;
Interestingly, the compiler works when revising the code like so: char* ptr = 0; ptr = ptr + 1;

I was able to reproduce this bug on both the CAEDM computers and my personal laptop. int pointers seem to work fine; however, its just char pointers that break it.

I'm creating this issue for future reference in case another student stumbles across the same problem.

Looks like the class website link, http://ece425web.groups.et.byu.net/, is dead as of 2023. I believe the class was discontinued after Dr. Archibald retired in 2020, and it looks like BYU finally stopped hosting the website sometime in the last year.

However, the material is all mostly still accessible via Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20220126003933/http://ece425web.groups.et.byu.net/

Perhaps we could save off this content into a GitHub pages site in this repo, for posterity's sake.
