[I] A debugger which detects memory allocation violations
[T] Electric Fence is a different kind of malloc() debugger. It uses the virtual[T] memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns the[T] boundaries[T] of a malloc() buffer. It will also detect any accesses of memory that has[T] been released by free(). Because it uses the VM hardware for detection,[T] Electric Fence stops your program on the first instruction that causes[T] a bounds violation. It's then trivial to use a debugger to display the[T] offending statement.
