- chc 13y agoC++ has things that are meant to prevent this, but in the real world C++ programs tend to be vulnerable to the same sorts of attacks.
- bjz_ 13y agoThat's because C++ is an approximate superset of C, an so it inherits all of that baggage as well. This is why we need new systems programming languages like Rust, designed for the 21st century with the benefit of hindsight.
