Then it wouldn't be C.
C is 52 years old. For most use cases, there are better options.
Instead of trying to apply bandages to C or C++, why not move to something better?
Legacy code written in C or C++ can be maintained or rewritten as needed. New code should not be written in C or C++ because it is not safe--thus the White House warning.
- Cloudef 3y agoI've already moved to zig since it's the only real C alternative out there right now. I'm just making a point C itself as a written language is not bad. You could make something that is very similar, but avoids most of the common issues with C (which are much less than with C++). C won't die and interop will be the C ABI for long time still.
