To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. When I say “safety” unqualified here, I mean programming language safety, which benefits both software security and software safety. Acknowledgments. Let’s dig in.

In order to understand “segmentation fault,” it is a must to know the basic idea of segmentation and its implementation in C programming. When we need to execute any program, it should be loaded into memory first. Here, memory is divided into equal sizes of partitions where the code of a program resides.

CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment Davis et al., And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes. ASPLOS’19. The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software.

The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. The virtualization and networking platform could be datacenter based, with something like VMware, or cloud based using one of the cloud providers such as AWS EC2.

In the example below we have modified the SQL Server, number of warehouses to build and the virtual users to build them. We have set the connection value of mssqls_server and then the tpcc value of the warehouse count and the number of virtual users to build them. GUI Virtual User Options. CLI Virtual User Options.

I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. Rich Pettit is one of the best programmers I ever met.

This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset. To benchmark a database we introduce the concept of a Virtual User. For HammerDB both TPROC-C and TPROC-H run all of their workloads on the database being tested in SQL. The following is an example from TPROC-C from SQL Server. select top 100.
