Dear All i am a rookie on valgrind so i wrote an test program on pc to test valgrind ability of program internal memory breaking but somehow it seems can't fetch program internal over-writing and under-writing global or local valuable??
following is my test program valtest.c , which will be compiled as valtest if i run valgrind valtest swerr with OVERWSTACK=1000 valgrind will catch internal memory breaking with msg Addr 0x0 si not stack'd, malloc'd or free'd but if i reduce OVERWSTACK=100 , no thing happened , valgrind will end in peace if i set UNDERWSTACK=7, valgrind will catch out the breaking by msg addr 0xbe9c0097 is on thread1's stack , 1 bytes below stack pointer but if i set UNDERWSTACK under 6 , its the same , no thing happened , valgrind will end in peace , it's the same , when i run valgrind valtest gwerr if set OVERWGLOBAL 10000 , valgrind msg ->Addr 0x0 si not stack'd, malloc'd or free'd but set OVERWGLOBAL 1000, valgrind will end in peace if set UNDERWGLOBAL 1000 , valgrind msg ->jump to the invaild addr stated on the next line but set UNDERWGLOBAL 10 , valgrind will end in peace so could anyone kindlly direct me how to configure valgrind to be able to catch out the internal memory breaking???
