Coming back to our discussions, Android 13 is finally making ARM MTE a reality, so that is yet another front.

While only available as developer mode flag, this might mean it will be enabled by default on Android 14, as this is how such kind of features tend to be integrated into Android (1 OS generation for testing purposes and fine tuning).

I find a bit ironic that for all the hate Oracle gets, Solaris SPARC has been the most successful UNIX to tame C, and has taken so long for this kind of features to spread into other platforms.




Yeah, I'm very excited to see this ship. I think it'll be huge in the number of bugs it can fix :)
