On top of risks common to any language (which type systems are starting to work on), pointer arithmetic adds uniquely catastrophic risks that are no longer justified by big gains at runtime. People keep thinking they can get away with it, but we have decades of proof that they’re wrong. We can afford tools that don’t randomly explode. |
