If you're serious about your code, you will turn on -Werror -Wall -Wextra and anything else you don't like the look of, use static analysis and so on that makes this class of complaint moot.
No it doesn't. No-one has ever come up with a concrete set of rules for how to build C and not have embarrassingly basic security bugs. It's always some vague "oh, if you use enough warnings and static analysis it's not a problem", and if you have security bugs evidently you weren't using enough, and if it's impossible to write anything or use any libraries then evidently you were using too many. A C language that actually works is vaporware.
