I'd say there are some successful efforts to regulate software in safety critical areas. The FAA comes to mind. I worked in the avionics industry for a while, and there are strict standards to which flight management and avionics displays software must be adhered. The DO-178 family of documents defines these standards/guidance/whatever. As a young engineer at the time, I remember two of thinks were were not allowed to do under DO-178B... Pointer math of any kind, and dynamic memory allocation. These standards have been around a long time too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DO-178B |
