Will C++ introduce something similar to Borrow Checker to improve memory safety?

• scpptool

  3 73 8.3 C++

  scpptool is a command line tool to help enforce a memory and data race safe subset of C++.

For those that are adventurous and open to a 3rd party solution, you can check out the scpptool project. (Shameless plug.) As u/pjmlp noted, it necessarily involves "curbing C++ language features or having annotations all over the place". It's closer to enforcing full memory safety than the other solutions, but maybe less ergonomic and not quite as adept at confirming the safety of existing C++ code.

Personally, I have no interest in Carbon or 'cppfront'. Val, on the other hand, is interesting: https://www.val-lang.dev/
