[COPY] [COPY] --- ROCK-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [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.
