Yes, there is PoC called "Safe C++" [1]. And it is already implemented in Circle C++ compiler.
You can see at the link how Safe C++ looks like. But it seems that this proposal will not be
accepted to standard, so if we choose this path, our code will not be written in standard C++.
As you can see, Safe C++ is much different from normal C or C++. So if we choose Safe C++, whole
kernel should be rewritten. (But I personally will totally love if some company spends billions of
dollars for such rewritting.)
