Memory management is the process by which a computer system allocates a limited amount of physical memory among the various processes that need it - such as operating system or application calls ...

But – as experts have noted in debates over Rust and C/C++ – the NSA warns that simply using a memory safe language doesn't by default preclude introducing memory bugs to software.

C++ can more easily mitigate some memory-management problems but not all. C on the other hand, depends on the watchful eye of the programmer to prevent these kinds of problems.

With automatic memory management and memory-safe pointers, the open source compiler TrapC is designed to make code written in C and C++ safer.

Memory management units (MMUs) are incorporated in, or available for, a wide range of embedded CPUs. Under some circumstances their use is mandatory; in other situations they might represent an ...

Software Makers Encouraged to Stop Using C/C++ by 2026 Your email has been sent Memory-unsafe programming languages introduce potential flaws What software manufacturers should do by January 2026 ...

Pablo Galindo developed Memray to track memory leaks occuring at the Python-C/C++ boundary Memray, which runs only on Linux, is available for download from Bloomberg’s GitHub repository. In addition ...

Memory Safety Much of the safety in TrapC would come from managed pointers, with its author describing TrapC’s memory management as ‘automatic’ in a recent presentation at an ISO C meeting.

Computer scientists from Microsoft and Inria have developed a way to automatically translate C code to memory-safe Rust.

Generative AI applications don’t need bigger memory, but smarter forgetting. When building LLM apps, start by shaping working memory.
