Description:C/C++ has been around for a long time. As you may know, it has issues; lots of them. And we can’t be rid of it; it’s still being used all the time in the creation of new software. But over time, have we gotten better at writing and auditing it? Have the bug types changed? We’ll look at a bunch of code in answering those questions throughout the talk. I hope you’ll join me.
