Name : ElectricFence Product : Fedora 14 Version : 2.2.2 Release : 30.fc14 URL : http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ElectricFence/ Summary : A debugger which detects memory allocation violations Description : ElectricFence is a utility for C programming and debugging. ElectricFence uses the virtual memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns malloc() buffer boundaries, and/or to detect any accesses of memory released by free(). ElectricFence will then stop the program on the first instruction that caused a bounds violation and you can use your favorite debugger to display the offending statement. Install ElectricFence if you need a debugger to find malloc() violations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Use the same formula as glibc uses to compute the memory alignment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jan 19 2011 Petr Machata <[email protected]> - 2.2.2-30 - Use the same formula as glibc uses to align memory - Resolves: #662085 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #662085 - ElectricFence (ef/efence) doesn't properly align memory by default https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662085 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
