I liked the "Saber C" C interpreter a few decades ago. It had what I think you are calling "safe pointers". They had a paper at Usenix in I think the very-late 1980s, but in a nutshell, every pointer value contained three addresses: the actual address value, the lowest you were allowed to go with that pointer value, and the highest you were allowed to go. [Worked great, but it was an interpreter. -John]
