New open-source C++ framework Vermell targets minimal, dependency-free web servers

Vermell is a newly released C++ web framework built on Linux's native epoll and pthreads APIs, requiring no runtime, garbage collector, or external dependencies beyond base OS calls. Developers build apps by including one header and linking one static library, compiling with a single g++ command, and the framework runs on architectures from x86_64 to ARM and Raspberry Pi.

Researchers trace rare Go runtime crash to epoll bug on 32-bit ARM Linux

A security research team investigated repeated crashes in a customer's Go application running on embedded 32-bit ARM Linux systems, which failed with a fatal 'netpoll: eventfd ready for something unexpected' error after long uptimes. Tracing the fault into Go's netpoll_epoll.go code, they found it matched a previously reported but unresolved issue in the Go project's issue tracker involving epoll reporting more than the expected EPOLLIN event.
