...It uses the memory paging system to allocate a guard page after each page of memory to provide a hardware boundary that can detect memory overflows. This allows for immediate detection of buffer overflow error conditions. There are many other memory checker programs in existence - why do we need another? This Hardware Memory Checker provides a combination of features not found in other memory checkers. - it uses the hardware paging system for immediate error detection (most other memory checkers look for modified memory in no mans land) - it is very fast compared to other hardware memory checkers because it makes fewer changes to the paging tables - it can track the original release location when debugging duplicate free problems - it is designed for large scale integration with the ability to call user defined fail functions
