Efforts to Reduce Undefined Behavior in C

Original: Reducing undefined behavior in the C language https://lwn.net/Articles/1095811/ # HackerNews # Tech # Programming

An LWN article examines ongoing efforts to reduce undefined behavior in the C programming language. Undefined behavior has long been a source of compiler optimizations that surprise programmers and create security vulnerabilities. The piece discusses proposals and community debate within the C standards world about tightening the language specification so that well-defined semantics cover more cases, making code safer and more predictable for developers.

Why now: The programming community is actively debating how language standards and compiler behavior affect safety and reliability in C.
