Abstract

In software development, to detect the presence of defects in the software as soon as possible, would greatly reduce the extent of losses arising. In this paper, focus on the memory-use error in C++ program, designed and implemented a memory check tools named ShadowCheck, based on dynamic binary instrumentation platform, which is platform-cross, efficiency and accuracy. In this paper, introduced dynamic binary instrumentation platform and the memory layout of Linux first, then explained how the ShadowCheck works, at last, summarized the efficiency and accuracy of ShadowCheck.
