OTOH Chrome has one of the best teams in the world working on it, funded by one of the richest companies in the world, with the best tools. And they take security very seriously.
If they can’t get it right, who can?
- MaxBarraclough 5y agoA good point, but I imagine benreesman's counterpoint would be that things might be different if Chromium were written entirely in modern C++, strictly following modern best practices. My suspicion is that this is too optimistic, but I can't really substantiate it. What would be a good security-sensitive modern C++ codebase, ideally from a high-profile source like Google, to compare against?
- astrange 5y agoDoesn't the definition of modern C++ change every few years? This might not be possible if any such project takes more than two years to write.
