I assume you are talking about BoundsChecker by Compuware (formerly marketed by NuMega, which Compuware acquired). It is a really excellent program IMO. I used it quite a bit during the early development of Arasan. It was very helpful in finding bugs. I do many of the other things suggested here, as well (assertions, debug code), but I don't think these really substitute for what BoundsChecker does, nor do free alternatives I have looked at really compare. It can check not only array bounds violations, but also such things as use of uninitialized variables and misuse of Windows API calls. I haven't updated my copy in a while, and don't use it at present, but IMO it is well worth what they are charging for it (you can often get discounts by buying through a reseller such as http://www.programmersparadise.com). --Jon
