True, but you can use languages that avoid whole classes of bug!
I guess my only point is that CHERI may protect you from the worst abuse of those bugs, but it still doesn't mean you shouldn't use something that doesn't suffer from them in the first place!
- slimsag 3y agoHow far should one go with that line of thinking? Should we all be using formally verified C that e.g. the aerospace industry uses? It can prevent whole classes of logic bugs that languages like Rust couldn't dream of
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoObviously, you don't need to do that for the majority of things. My point is much simpler, if you can use something that removes bugs with no appreciable additional effort (or actually less effort), why wouldn't you?
