Name : ElectricFence Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2.2.2 Release : 34.fc17 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: Add a patch that implements malloc_usable_size -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update ElectricFence' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
