Wrong. Many implemented them, Microsoft as first, followed by Cisco, Watcom, Embarcadero, Huawei and Android. Widely used in Windows, Embedded and phones.

Microsoft just changed one bit of the proposal, but no one followed them there. Currently it's the most widely used and worst implemented. I tested all of them.

It solves the bounds checking problem better than _FORTIFY_SOURCE, ASAN and valgrind, because it does the checks always, if compile-time or run-time, independent on the optimizer, the used intrinsics, where valgrind fails, and is much faster than ASAN. Also faster than glibc btw.
