Reads like a typical mid-80ies manifesto for safer languages until we arrive at gcc-11. There was no gcc-11 then.

- mhh__ 4y agoUnless you build the program around the static analysis you're going to have a bad time. David Malcolm has done a really good job with the analyser but it can't catch everything by virtue of the C type system making it possible to write code that can't be guaranteed either by construction or by making opaque boundaries.
