Many implementations of C do have bounds checking as an option. However, some checkers and debuggers (such as Rational's Purify) do have bounds checking. But, these options are expensive in terms of performance. They also are not foolproof since pointers are often used. C++ has the same problem when using built-in arrays. STL types, like vector or string have some checking. - -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/azHu+wA+1cUGHqkRAgBNAJ44tym/KAZEJKla92Rp3hpOtPuadQCdEhnV H5MT4jvrVP9XM6HYo4MP2Jk= =kDUP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
