| 2015 | Beyond the PDP-11: Architectural Support for a Memory-Safe C Abstract MachineabstractWe propose a new memory-safe interpretation of the C abstract machine that provides stronger protection to benefit security and debugging. Despite ambiguities in the specification intended to provide implementation flexibility, contemporary implementations of C have converged on a memory model similar to the PDP-11, the original target for C. This model lacks support for memory safety despite well-documented impacts on security and reliability. David Chisnall, Colin Rothwell, Robert N. M. Watson, Jonathan Woodruff, Munraj Vadera, Simon W.
