    Description: memory-safe implementation of the full ANSI C language
                 It detects and disallows all unsafe operations, yet conforming 
                 to the full ANSI C standard (including casts and unions) and 
                 even supporting many "dirty tricks" common in many existing 
                 programs which do not strictly conform to  the standard. 
                 .
                 This work also proposes several techniques---both compile-time 
                 and runtime--- to reduce the overhead of runtime checks. By 
                 using the Fail-Safe C compiler, programmers can easily make 
                 their programs safe without performing heavy rewriting or 
                 porting of their code.
