Your C++ Code Works, But Is It Memory Safe?

Your C++ code compiles. Your tests pass. Everything appears to work. But how confident are you that it’s really memory-safe?

In safety-critical embedded systems, memory safety defects, which remain hidden in code that looks correct, can cause unpredictable behavior, safety hazards, and security vulnerabilities that may result in severe injury or loss of life.

Join us for an engaging fireside chat with Jean Frantz René, author of Memory Safe C++: How to Write Safety-Critical Software. We’ll explore why memory safety remains one of the toughest challenges in C++ development and what engineers can do about it.

We’ll discuss:

• The hidden risks. Why working, well-tested C++ code can still contain dangerous memory-safety defects.
• Beyond passing tests. Where testing falls short and how static analysis and other verification techniques help uncover hidden problems.
• Safety beyond compliance. How MISRA C++ and functional safety standards support safer development practices.
• AI-generated code. What happens to memory safety when AI accelerates code development?
• Practical lessons. How developers can identify risks earlier and build greater confidence in their software.

Whether you’re developing automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, or other embedded systems, this discussion will challenge how you think about C++ code quality, verification, and software safety.

Join us for a candid chat about what it really takes to write memory-safe C++.
