The average C++ code base has as many segfaults than the average C code base.

Windows has more exploits than Linux. But you know all that, so I wonder why you keep making these statements, which are then upvoted by the "memory-safe" crowd.

I’m glad this doesn’t go unnoticed, and share the observation. There seem to be quite some effort going into creating illusions of truth about C. Just a personal observation.

If you want to play that game, https://www.cvedetails.com/product/32238/Microsoft-Windows-1... shows Windows, indeed, having more CVEs, in spite of, AFAIK, not using C (substantially, at least). Of course, the real problem is that CVE counts may or may not mean anything when comparing systems with wildly different development models (FOSS/proprietary) used mostly in different areas (desktop / everything else).

any source for that ? I find segfaults utterly rare in C++ >= 11

You were using C++ >= 11 in 90s/00s?
