I think pretty much any non trivial C example has memory safety issues. It doesn't mean that they aren't useful and can't be used. But time and time again we have seen security reports that point to memory issues. So no, I don't think I'm asking for something obvious, quite the contrary. I think the claim that it's possible to write big C programs that are memory safe is really strong and I heavily disagree with it.

It's not dickish, and it's weird you seem to feel attacked/offended by that. It is a realistic conclusion, that we have come to over the course of decades of C usage. One could call it wisdom or collective learning.

>> Can you provide examples for it? Because it honestly doesn't seem like it has ever been done.

>it comes off as pedantic and arrogant.

Interesting the way this was perceived. I thought he was just asking a honest question.

Again shows online discussion and communication is hard.
