Runtime Checking With bcheck

Reading uninitialized memory, reading past the end of arrays, or freeing memory twice are some of a number of problems which are hard to detect from browsing the source code of an application. This problems usually cause runtime behavior which is random and hard to debug – the very act of running the program under the debugger can change the behavior of the program (usually causing it to work perfectly ;-).
