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.

Google's Chrome team is looking at heap scanning to reduce memory-related security flaws in Chrome's C++ codebase, but the technique creates a toll on memory – except when newer Arm hardware is ...

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

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.

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 ...

The C-language extension compiler includes memory-safe pointers along with new safety features not found in C or C++. TrapC, a fork of the C language, is being developed as a potential solution ...

Dynamic Memory in C++. Management of dynamic memory in C++ is quite similar to C in most respects. Although the library functions are likely to be available, C++ has two additional operators – new ...

NSA to developers: Think about switching from C and C++ to a memory safe programming language For many developers, that could mean a shift towards C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and Swift.

As a piece of C or C++ code gets bigger and bigger, it’s possible for even the most careful coder to make lots of memory mistakes, filling the software with bugs.
