You're implying that the problems are in the compiler, which clearly indicates your lack of knowledge of software and vulnerabilities.
Stack exploits, heap exploits and buffer overflows are clearly defects in the software, exploitable by defects in the memory management unit. If you know different then please do enlighten us with your knowledge.
There's something seriously wrong with the present-day computing that such vulnerabilities are continually being discovered. The only solution being an endless patch cycle. Why isn't it possible to make a compiler that produces enduser safe software?
