Description : an open-source library to detect buffer overruns and
under-runs in C and C++ programs
DUMA is an open-source library (under GNU General Public License) to
detect buffer overruns and under-runs in C and C++ programs.
This library is a fork of Buce Perens Electric Fence library and adds
some new features to it. Features of the DUMA library:
* "overloads" all standard memory allocation functions like
* malloc(), calloc(), memalign(), strdup(), operator new, operator
* new[] and also their counterpart deallocation functions like free(),
operator delete and operator delete[]
* utilizes the MMU (memory management unit) of the CPU:
allocates and protects an extra memory page to detect any illegal
access beyond the top of the buffer (or bottom, at the user's option)
* stops the program at exactly that instruction, which does the
* erroneous access to the protected memory page,
allowing location of the defectice source code in a debugger
* detects erroneous writes at the non-protected end of the memory
* block at deallocation of the memory block
* detects mismatch of allocation/deallocation functions: f.e.
* allocation with malloc() but deallocation with operator delete
* leak detection: detect memory blocks which were not deallocated
* until program exit
* runs on Linux / U*ix and MS Windows NT/2K/XP operating systems
* preloading of the library on Linux (and some U*ix) systems
* allowing tests without necessity of changing source code or
* recompilation
