There's a QML compiler.
Which is great but does it compile the Javascript code as well?
Yes, to an extent.
Okay but one way or the other it'll always use the garbage collector as
a backend.
Remember when Wordperfect kept crashing in Windows 3.1 for some strange
reason back in the days? People ended up using MS Word. The same with
Netscape...
There are a lot of reasons why people chose MS Word, not just crashes on
Wordperfect. Not to mention that Word crashes too.
Well crashes don't help either.
I have a solution that solves those problems and it's called: "Fornux
C++ Superset":
I doubt it.
As you know I have tested it with a much more complex software called:
"libarchive" and it works flawlessly:

My point is: I doubt that you have solved all crashes. You have not. Your
framework may be a huge improvement over a lot of techniques people use today,
but your claims are not believable. You should be more precise in your
wording.
Here are the different ways to make an application crash:
http://forum.codecall.net/topic/71995-understanding-memory-leaks-and-crashes-in-c/
- You are free to modify the provided headers to throw an exception on
buffer overflows and the dereferencing of null pointers but I prefer to
keep the provided headers free from exceptions to favor speed.
- Explicit free() or delete are ignored and handled implicitly by the
generated code.
- The code that was modified by the parser interacts perfectly well with
system headers or external libraries that weren't modified at all.
- There are minor rules you need to follow to make the code compile
correctly, like nested structures aren't supported, etc. but you'll get
the errors at compile-time thus when it runs then it cannot crash.
- You are free to write any kernel module, AI engine, etc. without any
explicit call to free() and the parser will handle it correctly.
- Fornux C++ Superset harnesses the power of Clang.
Does it mean other compilers are not supported? That's a showstopper.
No it's just a Clang-based layer that injects complex C++ code into
existing C & C++98 projects. You can use any C++11 compiler to compile
the resulting code.
So I need Clang to parse my code. Will it parse Microsoft headers properly?
The generated code keeps headers that aren't part of your project as
include statements so your compiler / cross-compiler will expand these
headers normally.
