Google's Chrome team is looking at heap scanning to reduce memory-related security flaws in Chrome's C++ codebase, but the technique creates a toll on memory – except when newer Arm hardware is used.

In 2020, Google identified that more than 70% of its Chrome browser’s severe security bugs were in fact caused by memory safety issues. “That is,” the Chrome team said, “mistakes with pointers in the ...

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.

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 for ...

The National Security Agency (NSA) is urging developers to shift to memory safe languages – such as C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and Swift – to protect their code from remote code execution or other ...
