mudflap vs bounds-checking

[Christophe LYON]

Hi all,

I was somewhat used to the bounds-checking patches for GCC 3.x from 
Herman ten Brugge.

Now that GCC-4.x ships with mudflap, I am a bit confused, since the 
bounds-checking patches also exist at least for until GCC-4.0.2.

What is the difference between the two systems?

Thanks,

Christophe.
