Configure with CFLAGS='-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx', perhaps with -fchkp-first-field-has-own-bounds thrown in. Although pointer bounds checking can help during debugging, it is disabled by default because it hurts performance significantly. The checking does not detect all pointer errors. For example, a dumped Emacs might not detect a bounds violation of a pointer that was created before Emacs was dumped. */ #ifndef PTR_BOUNDS_H #define PTR_BOUNDS_H #include /* When not checking pointer bounds, the following macros simply return their first argument.
