Obviously checked iterators make it easier to detect defects, but i am
asking about security. By "secure" i mean resistant to malicious usage
of the application and resistant to other hostile code. I will let the
security experts define the term more precisely.
By "reasonably secure" i mean the required security quality that
production software software should meet (yes, if it asks for your
credit card number, it should be more than just "reasonably secure").
On second thought, it might have been better if i started with a
question like "how can i learn to write secure C++ code?" - you are
welcome to answer it as well.
