"Cyclone is a programming language based on C that is safe,
meaning that it rules out programs that have buffer overflows, dangling
pointers, format string attacks, and so on."
I have no idea whether this is a good compiler, but the concept of a
"safe" C compiler has been around for some time and this one is
open-source stuff.
Cheers,
Gary
