Well it is still C anyway.

For example, I find worthless the Annex K of C11 as solution for memory corruption, because the functions still require to keep track of a separate pointer and size, while making sure they match. And the Annex is anyway optional.

However OpenBSD coding guidelines do look quite good:

I like that they request developers to make use of static analysis.
