It is totally possible for pointers with bounds checking to exist in C. Turbo C did that 30 years ago. However, why bother trying when whole culture is biased against it and you can use any of the other languages?
- akoboldfrying 2y ago>Turbo C did that 30 years ago. I used Turbo C++ (not C) back in the day, and recall near pointers, far pointers, based pointers, but I don't recall bounds-checked pointers. Do you remember any details? >However, why bother trying Because it would immediately make the large amounts of C code still in the wild safer for the users, who do care?
