When developers wonder whether to adopt Fil‑C’s stricter memory safety or stick with Clang’s well‑known AddressSanitizer, the numbers don’t point to a clear winner. A side‑by‑side benchmark reveals that Fil‑C can outperform ASAN in allocation‑heavy workloads, yet falls behind in lookups as memory pressure grows.

Type confusion vulnerabilities are deceptively dangerous—code compiles and runs smoothly until a subtle mismatch triggers exploitable memory corruption. This article dissects a real-world example to reveal why these bugs occur at the language level and their critical implications for secure coding practices.
