Mudflap is a tree-level rewriting pass amidst the optimizers that limits its attention to pointer dereference and addressable object lifetime events. It's upstream, having been donated to the FSF. Last time I checked (quite some time back), the bounds-checking code instrumented many more low-level pointer operations with first-class function calls, and ran considerably slower as a consequence. It's not (C) FSF. Their runtimes are different and probably have different performance and portability/flexibility/diagnostic capabilities. The development intensity on both projects appears to have come down since around the same point in time. It would be nice not to duplicate so much, but that's how it goes sometimes. - FChE
