Memory allocation issues are only a subset of the problems common to C/C++ that cause potential bugs and vulnerabilities, but they are a large subset and are very annoying to track down and fix.

In a recent article, C++ expert and ISO C++ Committee Chair Herb Sutter expressed his views about what it takes to make C++ a safe language in the guise of Rust and other memory-safe languages (MSLs).

Making C++ safe Memory safe languages do exist and include Rust, Go, Java, Swift, and Python. C++ is under particular scrutiny because of the amount of critical code that has been written in it.

A code-reuse attack named coroutine frame-oriented programming (CFOP) is capable of exploiting C++ coroutines across three ...

Safe C++ Extensions proposal would provide C++ developers with memory-safe implementations of essential data structures and algorithms, along with features that prevent common memory-related errors.

The goal of the Safe C++ proposal is extending C++ by defining a superset of the language that can be used to write code with the strong safety guarantees similarly to code written in Rust. The key to ...

Google's Chrome is looking to bring memory safety to Chrome's C++ codebase. Written by Liam Tung, Contributing Writer May 27, 2022 at 4:22 a.m. PT ...

Alternatively, manufacturers should use a memory-safe language. Memory-safe languages approved by the NSA include: Python. Java. C#. Go. Delphi/Object Pascal. Swift. Ruby. Rust. Ada.

There are plenty of memory profilers for Python and plenty for C and C++, but up to this point, there hasn’t been a memory profiler that can work with both Python and C/C++ simultaneously, says ...
