You can establish a contract of trust between called functions and : calling functions and not waste time fixing things that aren't : exploitable. That's true to a point, but it takes a lot of time, sometimes, to establish that path of trust, especially in a large program. And the time isn't wasted (unless you are in firedrill mode) fixing those buffer overflows. Your programs are just more robust :-). Warner
