Linux kCFI/FineIBT Weaknesses Addressed By Rewriting Some Assembly In C

[uxmkt]

imho Makefiles are even worse than C, bcoz C is just old and Makefiles are downright disgusting.

[Makefiles] I, for one, love languages that are non-Turing complete and which can be statically evaluated.

I'll presume you are were being sarcastic?

This is a programming logic error not a memory leak issue (or whatever type of memory issues Rust solves).

"I am not a Rust programmer nor do I play one on TV."

Well, that's relative to old manual memory management code, and just on the memory side. I mean low level C is not exactly the most type safe thing, there's a tendency for opaque objects and hardcoded "supposed to work do not touch" thingies, prolific casting and cryptic multiple indirection chains.

So using a more type safe language has room to avoid overlooked logical errors as well.

I hardly doubt someone would set on to write a new language just to fix memory management, you can do that by writing a couple of classes or use mode modern language features. It is not like memory management is the only thing wrong with low level programming.

And yes, I was being sarcastic, which does not prevent me from acknowledging them specific drawbacks and advantages.

What would you suggest with the same features and cross-platform support?

From the building systems I have used, I believe xmake is the best. And Lua can well support cross platform and cross architecture
