The C programming language —and its counterpart C++— has been a foundational technology for decades in operating systems, firmware, high-performance libraries, and critical components. However, this efficiency and low-level control rely on a feature that brings both power and risk: Undefined Behavior (UB). In recent years, the C standardization committee (WG14) has begun promoting a […]
