A good point, but I imagine benreesman's counterpoint would be that things might be different if Chromium were written entirely in modern C++, strictly following modern best practices.

My suspicion is that this is too optimistic, but I can't really substantiate it.

What would be a good security-sensitive modern C++ codebase, ideally from a high-profile source like Google, to compare against?

Doesn't the definition of modern C++ change every few years? This might not be possible if any such project takes more than two years to write.
