In the same idea of "Any sufficiently complicated C program contains an ad hoc, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." let's paraphrase
Any sufficiently safe C program contains an ad-hoc (etc.) implementation of the infrastructure needed to make it safe:
- custom string implementation
- custom object/memory management
- custom memory slices and other data structures
Not forgetting the compiler tricks added to try and catch when the program does something stupid
