Only as safe as the language implementationOnly as safe as the language implementationPosted Sep 19, 2003 8:06 UTC (Fri) by ibukanov (subscriber, #3942)In reply to: Only as safe as the language implementation by hazelsct Parent article: A bad week Coding in a safe language does NOT increase amount of potentially unsafe code, while writing a new C code very much does. One may hope that a compiler or runtime with a minimal C or assembler core will be made bug free while coding new staff in C will only incease amount of efforts to check. Also, such runtime cores themselves do not use dynamic memory allocation (they have to implement it!) or extensive operations on C-style strings and it is easier to proove soundness of the implementation. In addition, bugs there much harder to explore since an exploit has to penetrate first working defences.
