384 | <para><application>Cyclone</application> is a programming language based
|

385 | on C that is safe, meaning that it rules out programs that have buffer

386 | overflows, dangling pointers, format string attacks, and so on.
|
---|
387 | High-level, type-safe languages, such as Java, Scheme, or ML also provide
|
---|
388 | safety, but they don't give the same control over data representations
|
---|
389 | and memory management that C does (witness the fact that the run-time
|
---|
390 | systems for these languages are usually written in C.) Furthermore,
|
---|
391 | porting legacy C code to these languages or interfacing with legacy C
|
---|
392 | libraries is a difficult and error-prone process. The goal of
|
---|
393 | <application>Cyclone</application> is to give programmers the same
|

394 | low-level control and performance of C without sacrificing safety, and to

1368 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
1369 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types in
|

1370 | Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the basic
