Memory Safety Features in Zig
Memory safety is a cornerstone of Zig’s design philosophy. While maintaining the performance benefits of manual memory management, Zig incorporates sophis
By making nullable references explicit in the type system, Zig forces developers to handle the null case, preventing one of the most common sources of bugs and security vulnerabilities. By providing powerful safety features while maintaining manual memory management, Zig enables developers to write efficient code with fewer memory-related bugs. The language combines compile-time checks, explicit error handling, and runtime safety features to prevent common issues like buffer overflows, use-after-free, and null pointer dereferences.
