Safe C++ Extensions proposal would provide C++ developers with memory-safe implementations of essential data structures and algorithms, along with features that prevent common memory-related errors.

Behind the scenes, the memory looks like this ... come with libraries packed full of ready-made data structures. For example, C++ has its Standard Template Library, and Java has the Java Class ...

The C-language extension compiler includes memory-safe pointers along with new safety features not found in C or C++. TrapC, a fork of the C language, is being developed as a potential solution ...

It aims to prevent the memory problems and buffer overflows that are common in C and C++. If users enter more than 24 characters, this provokes a buffer overflow and opens an exploit for attackers.

I see it time and again in Google interviews or new-grad hires: The way data structures and algorithms — among the most important subjects in a proper computer science curriculum — are learnt ...

"NSA advises organizations to consider making a strategic shift from programming languages that provide little or no inherent memory protection, such as C/C++, to a memory safe language when possible.

Studies data abstractions ... for selecting data structures to fit their applications. Topics include data and program representations, computer organization effect on performance and mechanisms used ...
