Why I Write Games in C (yes, C)

So you crash immediately if someone tries to use it or a library gets added that does?

Never experienced the malloc() thing but do throw exceptions and fail fast under conditions like these so they're caught in testing.

I think what he's asking to do is to make it a linker failure by not adding it to the standard lib at all. Compile fails are nicer than runtime fails.

Like sibling commenter says, a compile/link error is even better and faster than finding out at runtime with a crash.
