I feel many of your sentiments, and suspect that many C successors fail, because they don't want to just look like an evolution of C in the same way C with Classes did.
No one is out here building C with Safety.
- pjmlp 1y agoWG14 could design such an evolutionary path, it has been obvious since 1980's, however they clearly aren't interested.
- andrewmcwatters 1y agoYeah, it's really disappointing. I think the general attitude is to use calls to functions that are safe and to use instrumentation, which I get, but it results in these piecemeal fixes over the years.
- pjmlp 1y agoIf only such functions would exist, instead of pointer + length.
