TrapC is an extension of the C programming language that removes the key phrases goto and union, provides the key phrases lure and alias, and adopts a couple of options from C++ that enhance security reminiscent of constructors and destructors, stated Rowe. It additionally supplies a few new options not in C or C++. Regardless of being a minimalist programming language with the identical variety of key phrases as C, TrapC has a shocking quantity of C++ code compatibility, he stated.

Rowe introduced TrapC at an ISO C assembly this week. Builders can obtain a TrapC whitepaper and supply Rowe suggestions. In accordance with the whitepaper, TrapC’s reminiscence administration is computerized and can’t leak reminiscence. Pointers are lifetime-managed, not garbage-collected. Additionally, TrapC reuses a couple of code security options from C++, notably member capabilities, constructors, destructors, and the new key phrase.

TrapC is just not the one try and cope with reminiscence security in C or C++. The C++ Partnership labored on its Protected C++ Extensions venture to treatment C++reminiscence  security. Rowe stated that different proposals don’t supply the great reminiscence security supplied by TrapC.
