Efforts to reduce undefined behavior in C

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

A new LWN article examines ongoing efforts to reduce undefined behavior in the C programming language. Undefined behavior has long been a source of subtle bugs and security vulnerabilities, as compilers are permitted to optimize code in ways programmers may not expect. The piece discusses proposals and debates within the standards community about tightening the language's rules, a topic resonating with developers concerned about software safety.

Why now: Developers are actively debating C standards proposals aimed at curbing undefined behavior, a long-standing source of security bugs.
