compiling it with something that makes it memory-safe
Isn't it true that there is a bit more work to do to a program to make it memory safe than just recompiling?
Like if the original is in C, recompiling it in C++ won't whisk away unsafe memory access without significant architectural rework, no?
- pcwalton 9y agoIt's nonsense. If it were possible to make C++ memory-safe with a special compiler, it would have been done long ago.
