A sample size of one doesn't mean much. In my experience, none of those four factors account for a significant amount of bugs, since all of them (except integer overflow) can be caught without too much effort through the copious use of assertions. I'd still prefer non-nullable references to be the default though. Writing an assertion for every non-nullable reference argument for every function is tedious. -- Rainer Deyke - rain...@eldwood.com
