I think you're thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Integrity_C%2B%2B

I wrote a comment explaining what in my mind distinguishes "high reliability" (defensive programming and making invariants/error cases/intended use explicit) C++ from regular C++. IMO it basically boils down to contemporary "Google/fintech style C++", which is a different development culture and ecosystem from defense/automotive

The biggest split is not using exceptions with aborts on memory overflow. It alters the programming style to such extent that it feels like a different language.
