when you can use valgrind - most other things are pretty useless.
did you encounter a memory-handling bug that valgrind failed to catch,
while another tool (such as libsafe) did catch?
note: i never used libsafe, so i might be missing something - i simply
compared valgrind to many other available tools in the past, and nothing
(except for commercial software such as purify) came close.

Hi Valery,
I do use valgrind to find memory leaks, but libsafe suppose to directly
get me the name of function where stack is smashed.
I forgot to write, that in order to disable GCC stack protectin, I
compile my application and libsafe with -fno-stack-protector option.

Hi people,
I am fighting with stack corruption problem in my
appilcation
I wanted to use libsafe , but debian/ubuntu packages are
not accessible,
so I built libsafe manually from source tar distribution
And now, I see from trace ouput that altough my calls are
indeed intercepted in preloaded libsafe functions, no errors are
shown neither in stderr, nor in /var/log/secure
Any advises are heartly welcomed>
Toda,
L.
