Dynamaid Informative Dynamic Memory Bug Detection in C

Abstract

Memory bugs in any programming language can be subtle, and frequently have unpleasant consequences for programmers. However, while many tools exist to detect the existence of memory bugs, there are no good options to determine where the bug occurred in the original source code. This makes debugging code far more di cult and time-consuming. This tool provides a way to detect such errors at runtime and reports detailed line number information about the error in the original source code to aid in the debugging process. This makes corrections of such errors substantially easier, especially for students.
