Explore memory safety in C++ through this conference talk from CppCon 2022. Delve into the introduction of a new compiler and runtime that enables building memory-safe C++ and C applications without modifying source code. Learn how this tooling detects common memory safety issues like buffer overflow, double free, and use-after-free at compile-time and runtime. Discover the importance of static analysis in early error detection and understand scenarios where it cannot completely prove memory safety for unaltered C++ or C. Examine how formal analysis and runtime checks work together to ensure safety guarantees. Gain insights from Jim Radigan, an experienced architect with over two decades of experience in code generation technology at Microsoft, as he presents concise examples and demonstrates the new tooling's approach to addressing memory safety challenges in C++ programming.
