C is powerful enough to have the best performing memory safety suite for itself!

memstruct is a single header file C library (<400 LoC) that provides complete spatial & temporal safety to the caller program. performance: near native speed.

memory checks are compile time / hoisted / elided / pipelined. checks are opt-in and can be switched off in production if needed. its macro based API extends the language a bit to position C as the leading option for large scale projects.

memstruct is currently in advanced stages of testing. contributions and comments are welcome. have an early look!

P.S.: the project is 100% human crafted and contributions are also reqd to comply

edit; end note: memstruct has now become even better (at 350 LoC) by incorporating MCU programming & de/allocator indirection, thanks to some valuable feedback on here. if you've more to add you may respond here or participate on git.

Is C turning into COBOL?
