Canaries in Wmem

They've been on my to-do list for a while, as emem provides them. However, I've never personally used emem's canaries, and I've never actually heard of or seen anyone else using them. Are they actually useful anymore, or has Moore's law made valgrind the better tool in all situations? If we do believe they're still useful, now's the time to suggest cool new features for them etc. Would they be used more if could be enabled with an environment variable instead of a compile flag? Are the mprotected pages actually useful, or are 99% of things caught by the simpler canaries? Any other thoughts or suggestions are of course welcome. Cheers, Evan ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
