CVSROOT:	/usr/local/src/cvs
Module name:	mw
Changes by:	finnw at silver.sucs.org	02/08/07 20:50:38

Modified files:
	src            : Makefile wrappers.c 
Added files:
	src            : sentinel.c sentinel.h 

Log message:
	Added "sentinels".  This is an extension to the malloc wrappers,
	which adds guard values before and after every malloc'ed block.
	The values are verified when the block is freed.
	These functions are in a separate file since technically they do not
	depend on any of the wrapper functions, though they do need some way
	to find the size of an existing block.
	The sentinels have not revealed any new errors so far.  The next
	task is to test them with huge lines of text (and IPC data, etc) on
	the talker.
