SaferCPlusPlus Description: SaferCPlusPlus is essentially a memory safe dialect of C++. Specifically, it is a library that provides, among other things, safe compatible substitutes for C++'s existing "unsafe" elements (i.e. native pointers and (unchecked) standard library elements). I believe it is currently the highest performing solution for making existing C/C++ code memory safe without requiring any redesigning or re-architecting of the existing code. A motivating goal is to provide a practical solution for the reduction or elimination of "remote execution" vulnerabilities from much of the internet software infrastructure (web browsers, web servers, crypto libraries, etc.) Q: What do you hope to build this month? A1: Convert relevant benchmarks to SaferCPlusPlus to better quantify its performance cost. A2: If someone's really ambitious, start work on automated conversion from C++ to SaferCPlusPlus. Q: What kind of skills do you need? A: C++ Link to GitHub: https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus License(s): Boost
