When you develop software in Eiffel, you can be assured (at compile time) that your system will not attempt (at run time) to apply a feature to a void reference. That is, Eiffel prevents situations in which systems fail at run time with the error: "Feature call on void target".
Throughout the history of Eiffel, a small number of important new capabilities, agents for example, have been added. Always these capabilities have added significantly to the power of Eiffel, and have been carefully designed to cause a minimum of impact on existing software. Void-safe Eiffel is such a capability.

However, it is not quite right to refer to it as "void-safe Eiffel". In fact, it is Eiffel ... and it is void-safe, just as it is statically typed.
