The patches can be found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/boundschecking
Can some one update the extension page (http://gcc.gnu.org/extensions.html). This page still points to http://web.inter.NL.net/hcc/Haj.Ten.Brugge/ Thanks.
When implementing bounds-checking for gcc-4.0.0 I found perhaps a small mistake in the gimplify code. I applied the following patch:
diff -rupN -x tags -x 'c-parse.[cy]' -x 'objc-parse.[cy]' -x 'parse.[ch]' -x '*.info*' gcc-4.0.0.org/gcc/gimplify.c gcc-4.0.0/gcc/gimplify.c

+ new_type);
/* The variable was declared by the compiler. */ DECL_ARTIFICIAL (tmp_var) = 1;
It looks like a typo. I can open a problem report is this is really a mistake.
I also did some performance tests. The results are below. I selected a random
package (openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz) and ran the bounds-checking and mudflap
implementations with different compiler opions. This is just one random
package selection and I only wanted to show that my new inline
implementation for gcc-4.0.0 worked well when compiling with -O3.
Since mudflap is in this release as well I also did some tests there.
I could have picked the wrong testcode to compare bounds-checking
and mudflap.
