Title

Empowering Everyone to Write Reliable and Safe C++ Using Principles of Static Analysis

Abstract

Did you know that 70% of serious security bugs are a result of memory safety issues? Although C++ is high performing programming language, customers and security researchers have increasingly asked for stronger safety and correctness guarantees in their programs. In fact, safety and correctness are no longer viewed as opt-in behavior. In this talk, I will explore how static analysis principles can be used to provide strong statically checked guarantees out of the box, without compromising on the trailblazing performance and memory efficiency of C++. I will demonstrate some of these techniques live on real world examples.

Speaker Bio

Sunny Chatterjee leads a team responsible for developing the core C++ Static Analysis engines in Visual Studio productivity experience as well as the traditional security tooling scenarios used widely within Microsoft. He has many years of experience working on program analysis. His current area of focus is towards making C++ a safer systems programming language.
