Abstract

Memory safety issues are the intrinsic diseases of C/C++ programs. Dynamic memory safety enforcement as the dominant approach has an advantage in high effectiveness, yet suffers from prohibitively high runtime overhead. Existing attempts to reduce the overhead are either labor-intensive, tightly dependent on specific hardware/compiler support, or poorly effective.
