Hi.
Wondering why you think a mailing-list is a review/tests review
notepad.
Not under-rating your work, it's very fine, but why not a private
chat ?
Or only when tested a simple comment on a fork ?
Btw, I'd be glad to test it on x86 32 bits linux 5.0.
Regards, ian
Little updated patch. Still needs more work.

Hello,
I did some debugging with bouds-checking and came up with attached patch.
I seriously doubt any one did use bounds checking in a large project before.
Currently I can use this now in a large multi threaded project. It still needs some more testing so do not apply the patch yet.
I disabled some errors. For example if a bounded pointer is not found I give no error. I also relaxed printing free errors.
There were some off by 1 errors in lib/bcheck.c and I needed to make the code thread safe.
I used the patch to not link in libtcc1.a in shared objects when bounds checking so I have only one memory pool.
This has to be documented because you cannot use this with dlopen for example.
I also added the pthread library when bounds checking so it is now multi threaded.
I found another problem with nocode_wanted when using sizeof().
Also the push/pop trick needed to push some more registers when more parameters are passed in registers.
I probably forget to mention a lot a other changes. See the patch.
I only tested this on linux x86_64. There are for sure problems on other targets.

Herman

Your decision, I think you can push this patch either with that change, or
without (but try to remove cx/dx from the push/pop). It doesn't make tccs
source code larger or uglier in any meaningful way, but does fix practical
bugs.
Ciao,
Michael.
