- A Hundred more years ought to do the trick. Once we train AI to do it. - What data will you feed it? - Current C codebases and best practices. - OOOF.

  When AI gets advanced enough, compilers will be gone, there won't be a need for C anyway. Just like Assembly got reduced to a very niche use case, after optimizing compilers got better than much humans at handling Assembly code manually. Technically those will be AI/ML Compilers, but I digress. It is anyway a win regarding C and its superset derivatives.

    Maybe in the far, far future. The AI hallucinations, would turn optimizing compilers from "computer magic" to the "computer ultra nightmares" or maybe "My computer is having nightmares and I must scream".

      That would give a new meaning to UB. :)
