DUMA 2.5.12 (Default branch) |
|
|
DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) stops your
program on the exact instruction that overruns (or
underruns) a malloc() memory buffer. GDB will then
display the source-code line that causes the bug.
It works by using the virtual-memory hardware to
create a red-zone at the border of each buffer:
touch that, and your program stops. It can catch
formerly impossible-to-catch overrun bugs. DUMA is
a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library.

Changes:
This release adds the environment variable 'DUMA_CHECK_FREQ' to autmatically check all memory no man's land at each n'th allocation/deallocation. n=0 to deactivate automatic checks. README.txt has been updated.
