saying that C++ is memory safe because it's possible to use it in a memory safe manner is like saying jumping out of a plane with the bike is safe, because it's possible to safely land (with a parachute and a lot of training).
you always repeat that C++ is memory safe because its possible, and that "misuse" is "not its fault".
first, you are quite simply redefining what does memory safety mean. you basically say bombs are safe because they can be safely defused with the expertise.
second, do you really need to misuse it to get unsafe code? it does not warn anywhere. not in the instructions, not in the compiler output.
third, its no one's "fault" that c++ is not memory safe. That's not a fault of c++. like its not a fault of factories that you have to wear safery gear when working inside because otherwise you may get injured more severely. this is just a property of C++, not a judgement
oh no, my suspension was correct, you are really thinking that you are the perfect coder who jever makes any mistakes. It does not make sense to argue with you
