Safety and Security - The Future of C and C++

Explore the critical intersection of safety and security in C and C++ programming through this keynote address delivered at NDC TechTown 2023 in Kongsberg, Norway. Delve into the contrasting perspectives on safety and security between the C++ and C communities, with C++ viewing it as an existential threat and C maintaining a "business as usual" approach. Examine the essential requirements for developing safety-critical and security-critical software using C and C++, and investigate various strategies to meet these stringent demands. Gain valuable insights into the future trajectory of these programming languages within safety and security-critical domains, and understand their evolving roles in modern software development.
