Hello, Is there any option/patch for gcc/g++ which will enable the initialization of pointers and of allocated/freed memory with constants like Microsoft's compiler does? i.e. Pattern Description 0xFDFDFDFD No man's land (normally outside of a process) 0xDDDDDDDD Freed memory 0xCDCDCDCD Uninitialized (global) 0xCCCCCCCC Uninitialized locals (on the stack) Thanks.
