C语言
C语言具有高效、灵活、功能丰富、表达力强和較高的可移植性等特点，在程式設計中备受青睐，成为最近25年使用最为广泛的编程语言。目前，C语言編譯器普遍存在於各種不同的操作系统中，例如Microsoft Windows、macOS、Linux、Unix等。C語言的設計影響了众多後來的程式語言，例如C++、Objective-C、Java、C#等。

For example, most implementations of the C programming language do not perform array bounds checking. One can then exploit the implementation of the programming language by the compiler and the computer architecture's assembly language conventions, to achieve aliasing effects by writing outside of the array (a type of buffer overflow). This invokes undefined behaviour according to the C language specification; however many implementations of C will show the aliasing effects described here.
