Introducing Electric Fence FOR LINUX
Are you tired of dealing with buffer overruns and under-runs in your C programs? Look no further than Electric Fence FOR LINUX. This open-source library, developed by Bruce Perens, is designed to detect these issues and help you catch those pesky bugs that have been causing headaches for years.
Key Features:
- Port to MS Window NT/2K/XP systems/compiler
- Extensions for finding memory leaks
- Support for C++
How It Works:
Electric Fence (efence) stops your program on the exact instruction that overruns or underruns a malloc() memory buffer. This allows GDB to display the source-code line that is causing the bug. By utilizing virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of each buffer, Electric Fence FOR LINUX can help you catch those bugs that were previously impossible to detect.
