What we need is a new programming paradigm, capable of actually producing secure (and, yes, reliable) software. C and its progeny (and "program now, test never" lifestyle) must go. I'm afraid it'll take laws which would actually make software makers to pay for bugs and security vulnerabilities in shipped code to make such paradigm shift a reality.Blaming the tools for the mistakes programmers make is like saying "guns kill people" when the truth is that people kill people with guns. We´ve code running, where the core parts are C and has a track record better than the "utopian" five nines so many people mistakenly look for. However, since improvements are always welcome, please recommend tools which would allow us to progress "above and beyond" C and it´s deficencies.
We digress but.. Private deployment of software written in C is very different from a major public release, especially so when included with source code. Steve
