NAME

libsanity − libc routines with runtime sanity checking

SYNOPSIS

cc file.c −lsanity

DESCRIPTION

Libsanity contains libc routines with runtime sanity checks.  This is useful when debugging ports of code to a new machine where previously hidden code bugs now appear. 

ROUTINES

free(ptr) char ∗ptr;
Free checks to assure that the area being freed was memory that was previously obtained by a malloc(3), calloc(3), or realloc(3). 

DIAGNOSTICS

A descriptive error message is printed to stderr and the routine abort(3) is called when a sanity assertion fails.  This attempts to produce a core file. 

FILES

/usr/lib/libsanity.a

BUGS

Many more routines need to be added to this library.
