Based on Andrei's and Cardelli's ideas, I propose that Safe D be defined as the subset of D that guarantees no undefined behavior. Implementation defined behavior (such as varying pointer sizes) is still allowed.

Safety seems more and more to be a characteristic of a function, rather than a module or command line switch. To that end, I propose two new attributes:

@safe
@trusted


Sounds great! The lower-grained safeness makes a lot of sense, and I'm thrilled at the idea of safe D finally encompassing more than just memory safety - I'd been hoping to see that happen ever since I first heard that "safeD" only ment memory-safe.

I can think of division by zero as an example. What others are out there?

Andrei
