C++ Template Not To Be Used In Space Environment

Asked By Paul M Heineman 10 points N/A Posted on - 06/26/2019

Why are dynamic mappings or exceptions not recommended in environments subject to high radiation, such as in space or in a nuclear power plant? As for the models, I do not understand why. Can you explain it to me?

C++ Template Not To Be Used In Space Environment

This claim that models are a source of security vulnerabilities seems totally surreal to me. For two main reasons:

The models are “compiled”, d. h. instantiated and like all other functions / members generated by the code, there is no specific behavior for them. Just as if they had never existed;

No construction in any language is neither safe nor vulnerable. When an ionizing particle modifies a single bit of memory, either in code or in data, everything is possible (from the problem identifiable to the crash of the processor). The ability to protect a system against this system is to add features to detect / correct hardware storage errors. Not by changing the code!
