Without changing how people write code, how difficult is it to implement some kind of memory-safety feature (even if not accurate) in a C compiler, so it can show some kind of warning at least?

If it can't be done so easily at compile-time, then what about some kind of static-analysis tool that can inspect binaries for potential violations?

sounds good op
once you get that figured out, you should write a static analysis tool that can determine whether a program will stop or continue executing forever

All you need is linear types.

just use the flag to enable ASAN.

Pro mode: enable MSAN.

Also enable UBSAN, if this works.

Too bad you can't have TSAN at same time too.

rust doesn't do that either, it just crashes

The best way is to write as much of your C code as possible without allocating memory.

This dude has all the best ideas and the worst coding style ever.

just use valgrind
