Can C++ Be Safer? Bjarne Stroustrup On Ensuring Memory Safety
In mid-January, the official C++ “direction group” — which makes recommendations for the programming language’s evolution — issued a statement addressing concerns about C++ safety. While many languages now support “basic type safety” — that is, ensuring that variables access only sections of memory that are clearly defined by their data types — C++ has struggled to offer similar guarantees. This new statement, co-authored by C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup, now appears to call for changing the C++ programming language itself to address safety concerns. “We now support the idea that the changes for safety need to be not just in tooling, but visible in the language/compiler, and library.” The group still also supports its long-preferred use of debugging tools to ensure safety (and “pushing tooling to enable more global analysis in identifying hard for humans to identify safety concerns”). But that January statement emphasizes its recommendation for changes within C++.
Specifically, it proposes “packaging several features into profiles” (with profiles defined later as “a collection of restrictions and requirements that defines a property to be enforced” by, for example, triggering an automatic analysis.) In this way the new changes for safety “should be visible such that the Safe code section can be named (possibly using profiles), and can mix with normal code.” And this new approach would ultimately bring not just safety but also flexibility, with profiles specifically designed to support embedded computing, performance-sensitive applications, or highly specific problem domains, like automotive, aerospace, avionics, nuclear, or medical applications.
“For example, we might even have safety profiles for safe-embedded, safe-automotive, safe-medical, performance-games, performance-HPC, and EU-government-regulation,” the group suggests. Elsewhere in the document they put it more succinctly. “To support more than one notion of ‘safety’, we need to be able to name them.”
Stroustrup emphasized his faith in C++ in a 2020 interview. âoeI think C++ can do anything Rust can do, and I would like it to be much simpler to use,” Stroustrup told the Association for Computing Machineryâ(TM)s Special Interest Group on Programming Languages.
But even then, he’d said that basic type safety was one of his earliest design goals — and one heâ(TM)s spent decades trying to achieve. âoeI get a little bit sad when I hear people talk about C++ as if they were back in the 1980s, the 1990s, which a lot of people do. They looked at it back in the dark ages, and they havenâ(TM)t looked since.â

Valheim Mistlands update makes the biome safer – but not the ballista
Valheim Mistlands update 0.212.9 has arrived on the public test branch for the viking survival game, and it aims to make the dangerous biome a little safer to explore – though it won’t make ballistas any less dangerous to be around, despite some player outcry. The Valheim Mistlands update arrived on public servers on December 6 after several weeks in public testing, and players have been terrorised by the region’s Seekers and flying Gjalls ever since.
