MalCheck, trace bugs involving malloc() blocks
A library with header file which enables the C programmer to track down
problems involving blocks manipulated with malloc(), calloc() and
realloc(). Calls to these routines are intercepted by defining
appropriate macros. The allocated blocks are surrounded with guards and
changes in their contents are detected. On every call, all known blocks
are checked for illegal changes. Information on the blocks includes a
backtrace. It works with both Clib and UnixLib.

Updated software summary
ARMalyser v0.33
An ARM code analyser that understands RISC OS executable, module,
object and library formats. The primary aim of this release is to enable

intervention. Once the UK has ratified the EU Copyright directive, the
current exemption allowing the reverse engineering of copyrighted
software for the purpose of interoperability will be abolished. Everyone
should read up on the implications of this change in the law and
register your protests accordingly.
