efence

efence is a little script to run a program under gdb with electric-fence enabled to detect malloc buffer overruns. Using electric-fence alone gives a segv when a problem is encountered. Running it under gdb means you can see the offending instruction etc (with "where" or "disassemble" etc in the usual way).

This efence script is free software (free as in freedom), published under the terms of the GNU General Public License (v2 or higher). Download version 1 here:
