> It's technically possible, but retrofitting old code rarely happens. Yeah. A more realistic solution might be auto-translation of existing code. Here[1] is an example that replaces declarations of arrays, and pointers used as array iterators, with macros that enable the code to be compiled as either unsafe C code or "safe" C++ code (bounds checked and iterator use-after-free safe). Determining in general whether or not a pointer is being used as an array iterator, or a pointer to an array is not trivial. It sometimes has to be deduced from context. Which may be why it doesn't seem to have been done already?
