Ways to detect memory corruption

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

While reading about memory corruption I came across a solution to detect this problem i.e to use protection/padding. So that overrunning or underrunning may be avoided. This approach will lead to memory overhead and thus performance issues.

I wanted to know if there is any other approach for detecting memory corruptions which is more efficient than the mentioned approach.

Most profiling tools give information about memory corruption. I have used some profilers. you can find some profilers in this page C++ code profilers[^]
