PL/I does bounds checking by default.
Even the pseudo secure Annex K, requires separate arguments for actual length and max buffer length, thus defeating the purpose of being library functions for secure code.
Just having one of the many libraries that provide secure strings and vector handling, so that libraries can rely on a common vocabulary types would be an improvement.
I assume you actually think that sudo takes the time it does, but you just likely entered your password wrong and are made to wait deliberately through a sleep. Are we really that bad at ball parking code execution times?!
Or even the x100 from (G)GP, that's a half second. Sometimes spiking to a full second.
