Alternatively one can do the same that Mozilla does for a few components in Firefox [1]. That is, sandbox C/C++ libraries/components at the compilation time so memory-safety bugs will not be able to escape the sandbox. The big plus is that this avoids code re-write for the price of slower execution due to extra checks in the generated code. This is especially applicable for various parsers that are typically self-contained code that is not performance critical but very prone to bugs with nasty consequences like the article demonstrated again.
