I believe it already exists, as Embedded C++ (or perhaps as a subset of it). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_C%2B%2B And it is not really a compiler issue, unless you want to have the compiler implement the restriction, by rejecting the forbidden features. You already could restrict such applications by linking them with a special library without new or malloc. If you want that to be caught within GCC, you can extend GCC for such needs. To extend GCC, you can develop a plugin in C, or in Python, or in MELT. MELT is a domain specific language to ease the development of GCC extensions. See http://gcc-melt.org/ for more. And an application could also link with its specialized garbage collector, so manage its heap specifically. (look into Ocaml for an example).
