Re: GLUG: Apparently there is a compiler


Yea, they call it java ;-)

Have a look at electric fence and such - there are lots of third party tools
that will do this.
Typically they add code into the allocation routines, and then check all the
accesses. Each one does something slightly different, but they generally
amount to the same thing. They will all tell you where buffer overflows
occur.

You could think about using buffers with more savvy. Are you using c/c++
