Abstract

C programmers are plagued by a variety of problems rooted at the language level. Memory corruption and memory leakage are two related problems that are hard to fix. The results are delayed or failed software projects.Better C is an Object-Oriented language based on the C language. Better C supports exception handling, the separation of abstraction versus implementation, and most importantly, an automatic memory manager suitable for interactive applications.With Better C, programmers can routinely write programs without memory problems.The motivation, and the description of Better C will be presented, with some examples to illustrate the key points.
