Bjarne Stroustrup’s Plan for Bringing Safety to C++ (The New Stack)
Monday October 30, 2023. 05:43 PM , from LWN.net
The New Stack covers
a conference talk by Bjarne Stroustrup on turning C++ into a safer language. Stroustrup has arrived at his solution: profiles. (That is, a set of rules which, when followed, achieve specific safety guarantees.) They’d be defined by the ISO C++ standard, addressing common safety issues like pointers and array ranges. In response to a later question from the audience about the difficulty of adding new tooling, Stroustrup pointed out that the C++ compiler itself is now a pretty sophisticated static analyzer, and could also be tasked with meeting the profile's requirements.
