[Haifux] Lecture about valgrind
Hi all, I have been fiddling with the insides of valgrind lately, and thought that other club members might also be interested to hear about how it works under the hood. For these of you who haven't heard of valgrind yet, it is a dynamic binary translator, which pin-points common memory-related problems (most of the buffer overflows, using freed memory block, double free, using uninitialized variables, memory leaks, etc.). If there is enough interest, I will probably be able to get a few slides together and talk about it for a bit (read - 2 hours). --Shachar ___ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
