That's a fair point. And for a large portion of software the benefits of C/C++ do not outweigh the potential costs and code should be written in a more protective language.
But that does not change the fact that C/C++ is preferable and often the best choice in certain domains.
- pjmlp 10y agoI don't put C and C++ on the same bag, even though you can write C like code in C++. While one might not be able to pay for tools for static analysis, there is no excuse to ignore the type safety improvements C++ has over C. Anyone that writes C with C++ compiler, should keep using a C compiler if he/she wants to stay in the past.
