C++ offers immense power and flexibility, but its legacy of unsafe constructs and unpredictable behavior exposes developers to memory corruption, inconsistencies, and elusive bugs. From raw pointers to the result of a division by zero, C++ enables high performance – at the cost of safety.

This lecture explores these pitfalls and their impact on software reliability, particularly in safety-critical domains like automotive, aerospace, and medical systems. We then focus on solutions, emphasizing modern practices and the MISRA C++ guidelines, an industry standard for safer, maintainable code.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of C++'s risks, the role of structured guidelines, and practical strategies to improve code safety without sacrificing performance.
