        abstract = {Buffer overflows continue to plague C and C++
programs. This is a draft proposal for dealing with
that problem. The basis of this proposal is to define
means for expressing the size of arrays in C. C
already has fixed-size arrays with useful semantics.
In this proposal, the existing syntax for fixed-length
arrays is generalized to allow known-length arrays,
where the length of the array is determined at
variable initialization time. With relatively minor
and compatible changes to C, the most troublesome
causes of program crashes and security
vulnerabilities can be dealt with. In any useful
program, each array has a size known to the
programmer. In C, there is currently no way to
consistently express that size in the language. This
proposal adds that capability.},
