%description
If you know what malloc() violations are, you'll be interested in
ElectricFence. ElectricFence is a tool which can be used for
C programming and debugging. It 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.
This package will install ElectricFence, which you can
use if you're searching for a debugger to find
malloc() violations.
%description -l de
Wenn Sie wissen, was malloc()-Verletzungen sind, sind Sie wahrscheinlich an
ElectricFence interessiert. ElectricFence ist ein Tool, das zur C-
Programmierung und zum Debugging benutzt werden kann. Es benutzt virtuelle
Speicherhardware, um zu erkennen, wenn Software malloc()-Buffergrenzen
übersteigt, und wenn Speicher mit free() freigegeben wird.
ElectricFence beendet das Programm bei der Instruktion, die die
Speicherverletzung ausgelöst hat, und Sie können Ihren Lieblingsdebugger
benutzen, um den Befehl anzuzeigen.
