- ProcASM provides constructs to manage memory effectively, reducing memory-related bugs.
- ProcASM uses Procedures and Sub-Procedures with gates to ensure variables are properly checked before execution.
- Variables out of scope are cleaned up automatically, including calling cleanup functions for resources.
- Indexes in ProcASM are always valid and cannot refer to elements outside their container.
- State Machines in ProcASM store variables when yielding, with strict rules on storing variables and references.
- Critical errors in ProcASM must be fixed before execution or transpilation, enhancing software stability.
- ProcASM prevents common memory bugs like uninitialized memory, use after free, cyclic references, and invalid references.
- Comparisons with C++, Java, and Swift show ProcASM's superior handling of memory bugs.
- ProcASM's design ensures more stable and bug-free software development.
