Safe C++ is a standards proposal which adds extensions to the C++
language for implementing memory safety. Circle is a compiler which
implements the Safe C++ Extensions.

The work required for a complete Safe C++ extensions proposal is
significant. For now the focus of development is on memory safety and
completing the proposal.

Safe C++ is an open specification of extensions to the C++ language to
enable memory safety, while Circle is a compiler used to perform
research in developing the Safe C++ specification.

Thanks for your interest!
