Hi All,

Is there a way to find or test which line of a give code is not safe(possible memory corruption).

That question needs to be refined ;-)

Hi,

  Let me re-frame the question with an example, as the Dsafe the below line of code is considered as unsafe(Pointer arithmetic), so let imagine that we have several similar line of code, how do we find such unsafe line, does the compiler check these unsafe code and complain while compiling a .d program or do we need to pass any compiler arguments to perform these check while compiling the code or do we need to manually perform an analysis of each line of code and correct the same in case if we find any unsafe code.


ini[10] a;
int* p = &a[0];
for (size_t i=0; i <= 10; i++)
p[i] = ...;

Is this what you're looking for?

https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#safe-functions

Just annotate your functions with @safe (as @system is the default).

Or if that's not possible, you can add runtime checks with ASan: http://johanengelen.github.io/ldc/2017/12/25/LDC-and-AddressSanitizer.html
