What is memory safety and what does it mean for Delphi development?
Table of Contents
Background
Back in February, the US White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) released a report urging developers to build memory safe software. Later the US National Institute of Standards (NIST) updated their list of memory safe programming languages to include Delphi. A few people chimed in with their opinions on Delphi and memory safety. Generally everyone agrees memory safety is important, but there was very little discussion on how to write memory safe programs with Delphi.
