@ Captain TickTock: Still Not A Valid Argument
You erect a huge strawman saying "there will be other issues, so don't even bother to implement this measure".
"Don't wash your hands to stop bacteria from proliferating, there is carcinogenous sooth in the air which may kill you".
NO - what we need to do is to use all available measures to cut down the size of the cyber war domain. C was a regression relative to ALGOL/Pascal/Ada/Swift. In addition to the issues listed, C has a major deficiency in integer over/underflows. Compare that to Pascal-style languages , where you can clearly define the valid range of a number. And transgression will lead to a defined program stop instead of a logic cancer that might open the possibility for covert subversion of your system by cybernetic attackers.
