Are you suggesting that syntax errors create memory corruption?

Quoting: "even getting built-in library calls and macros right, on 1st attempt, becomes nearly effortless"...

Getting the syntax to parse != getting the correct syntax (meant for the job).

Even an off by one error in a library call can create memory corruption. Preprocessor macros? They can fuck everything if done wrongly.

Those are semantic errors, and a language aware editor will not fix them.
