test-tlb is a tiny C microbenchmark that explores the performance characteristics of memory access patterns with respect to the CPU’s Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) and caches. It walks arrays using different strides and working-set sizes so you can observe when access patterns overflow cache or TLB capacity. By timing tight loops and varying parameters, the program reveals step-changes in latency that map to cache lines, page sizes, and TLB coverage. It is intentionally minimal so you can modify page sizes, strides, or pointer-chasing strategies to run experiments on different machines and kernels. ...

String object manipulation library for C language - Objet de gestion de chaînes de caractères pour le langage C

An alternative to the string library for C and C++ which is more functional and does not have buffer overflow problems.

...It uses the memory paging system to allocate a guard page after each page of memory to provide a hardware boundary that can detect memory overflows. This allows for immediate detection of buffer overflow error conditions. There are many other memory checker programs in existence - why do we need another? This Hardware Memory Checker provides a combination of features not found in other memory checkers. - it uses the hardware paging system for immediate error detection (most other memory checkers look for modified memory in no mans land) - it is very fast compared to other hardware memory checkers because it makes fewer changes to the paging tables - it can track the original release location when debugging duplicate free problems - it is designed for large scale integration with the ability to call user defined fail functions
