Richard,
Is there some sample code that one can use to test the
functionality of the code generated by -fstack-protector?
Also, if one has a buggy program that is corrupting the stack,
what is the expected behavior of this program when compiled
with the stack protection code? Should it always abort at
runtime with a userful error message or will it manage to
suppress the stack corruption and keep on running. I was hoping
to use the stack protection code as way to flag the position of
offending code that was corrupting the stack rather than mask
the corruption itself. Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
Jack
