Part of what I mentioned is patent pending but I can certainly loosen
restrictions, but the Root Pointer headers will remain patented.

The title notably states that I am looking to start an an SCC / ISO IEC
branch (which I am part of now) to build a framework allowing more
robust functionalities such as what I previously mentioned.
That framework can be used to build runtime stack traces [with no
limited POSIX signal handler], to integrate other memory managers and
smart pointers or even garbage collectors on top of smart pointers like
with Python; if you do not want Root Pointer.

Obviously following ISO standards is the way to go on the long term and
to have robust support from other commercial compilers is desirable at
the same time.
Again:
- 70% of cybersecurity problems are memory safety issues;
- memory management is the leading cause of security vulnerabilities in
Google Chrome;
So 1 + 1 = 2. If we do not solve these problems then we'll have a huge
national security issue with legacy code.
So this is my contribution to the community at the same time.
