That is frequently the case: the examples are too big, too proprietary, or require infrastructure we cannot replicate in house. Getting real-life examples can be hard at times, and one's imagination...

This is precisely the kind of thing the product I work on (BoundsChecker) is supposed to detect. Would you mind sharing your example so I can make sure our product would have caught your problem?

Therein lies the rub. They aren't happy with the current performance. The reasons for the slowdown are related to many well-intentioned but poorly thought out 'enhancements' done to the product...

I only discard STL when I need to do extreme optimization, for critical CPU-bound code. If I don't care about performance or memory consumption, then STL is convenient. But I don't use STL just for...

Speaking in general, over all the things I've worked on over the years, I've never needed the extra algorithms contained in STL for the simple reason that I've known how to do those things the hard...

Sleeping on a topic is a good way to cool down.

(1) Fully one half of the wasted memory in the text parser I mentioned earlier turned out to be due to copying strings into the index as keys,...

For starters, it is very easy to write sloppy code with STL, where you wind up chewing through vast amounts of memory (and CPU cycles) trying to accomplish something.

Mind you, I use STL when I...

STL containers are nice in general, but come with their own set of problems.

BoundsChecker helps in this kind of case by alerting you to invalid heap operations earlier on, letting you know that...

I vastly prefer SoftICE too, having used in many a time from the 1980s through about 2005. Unfortunately, the code we have for it does not support anything newer than Windows XP. Supposedly it...

"Will be sold over again?" We never really stopped, though our former corporate owners certainly seemed to be trying to kill us off...

Anyway, BoundsChecker is part of the DevPartner Studio...

Currently, because of the things that need to happen before the code can be fully started, we do not support a late attach from BoundsChecker to any process (services being processes). You can,...

You want accuracy, or useful information when you're done with the run, it generally costs a lot of CPU cycles.

I speak from experience: I am one of the developers currently employed maintaining...

Regarding BoundsChecker, the reports of our product's death have been greatly exaggerated. Not that our previous corporate owners didn't try...

Anyway, the product line formerly owned by NuMega...
