So where is your production code written in Ada or Pascal?

  Ada cannot tell. Pascal was replaced by Java and C#.

    Ada absolutely can tell. Divide by zero throws an exception and buffer overflows are caught by essentially every modern compiler.

      > buffer overflows are caught by essentially every modern compiler. If you use high-level arrays with bounds-checking, which are not always fast enough, and can become a maintenaince burden. If they should be absolutely secure (like, std::vector isn't - it can be moved behind your back), they also require GC.

      Sure it can, but that wasn't the question. Rather what happened to the code I have written. NDAs make us not able to tell about stuff. What magic variant of C or C++ compiler are you using that throws errors on buffer corruption, unless you are speaking about using code with debugging mode enabled in production instead of using a proper release build.
