The curious case of the switch statement / fuzzy notepad edit / delete
The history of "switch" in Algol/BCPL languages. Ignores pattern-matching in functional languages, so the inclusion of Rust here is a bit incongruous.

Checked C - Microsoft Research edit / delete
C with bounds checking. Very C++-ish; I was hoping they'd done something smarter.

Updated version of the classic compiler. I'm not sure this is very actively maintained now, but it did get quite a lot of effort put into it a few years ago.
include-what-you-use - A tool for use with clang to analyze #includes in C and C++ source files edit / delete
This is a tool I've wanted for a while (owing to C/C++'s lack of a 1970s-standard module system): check that C/C++ files have the correct set of #includes.

Writing Bug-Free C Code edit / delete
The title oversells this (spectacularly!), but it's a good explanation of how to set up conventions to do OO in C in a reasonably safe way.

clang's equivalents of the GCC hardening options. Mostly the same.
