The author of Fil-C does have some ideas to avoid a garbage collector [1], in summary: Use-after-free at worst means you might see an object of the same size, but you can not corrupt data structures (no pointer / integer confusion). This would be more secure than standard C, but less secure than Fil-C with GC.
