No, it will just confirm that C/C++ alone is not safe enough !
BTW it would only prove (if it was needed) that C/C++ development
- takes more time (here: the time to install/configure/run
your cool tool)
- costs more (the price of your cool tool and its upgrades;
there will be many upgrades unless it has been directly
written in Ada).

OK. I have added a bug (an extra '-') in the following C code:
#include <io.h>
float o=0.075,h=1.5,T,r,O,l,I;int _,L=-80,s=3200;main(){for(;s%L||
(h-=o,T= -2),s;4 -(r=O*O)<(l=I*I)|++ _==L&&write(1,(--s%L?_<L?--_
%6:6:7)+"World! \n",1)&&(O=I=l=_=r=0,T+=o /2))O=I*2*O+h,I=l+T-r;}
I hope your tool will find it. Otherwise, I will be very disappointed.
> Who needs Ada after this?
Nobody. Even C/C++. Or assembler. We all will write machine
code when your cool tool is available for it.
