A Safe Dialect of C


re:  http://www.research.att.com/projects/cyclone/

"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
