| Abstract | We present a set of methods (“SSCC”, for “safe, secure C/C++”) to eliminate buffer overflows (including wild-pointer stores) in C and C++, using a mixture of compile-time, link-time, and runtime tests, plus some design-time restrictions. A prototype implementation indicates that run-time overhead is much smaller than previous methods. The SSCC methods do not require changes to existing data layouts or object-code representation. The SSCC methods are applicable to applications written for the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“C99”) standard [5] and the 14882:2003 (C++) standard [6] (herein, the “Standards”), as well as most commercially-popular extensions to those standards, and the earlier ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“C90”) standard (now essentially outof-print). |
