It's explicitly stated that the choice of language was not considered a root cause. And that was even asm - not C
The software was written in assembly language that might require more attention for testing and good design. However the choice of language by itself is not listed as a primary cause in the report.
- pjmlp 13y agoC was just as example, as it is nothing more than a portable macro assembler.
- troels 13y agoAs opposed to being written in actual assembler?
- ColinWright 13y agoThis is a common mis-conception invariably produced by people who've never written a C compiler. C is not just a portable macro assembler.
- pjmlp 13y ago> This is a common mis-conception invariably produced by people who've never written a C compiler. Wrong on that one. I do have a good background in compiler design. > C is not just a portable macro assembler. Given what it offers when compared with safer systems programming languages, it is one according to my own definition. :)
