This is not memory safety. Not a single compiler out there will stop a memory leak. Segmentation in the other hand is what Zig, Rust and many other are trying to avoid.

Technically it is memory safety, while it does not stop it completely, it does allow you to identify it? And try to keep it from happening in the first place? But what you said is also more of the full spectrum of the actual issue.
