Which Compilation switch will you use to check Buffer Overflows?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
/GS on Visual C++ and -fmudflap -fmudflapth -fmudflapir on GCC
💡 Explanation:
/GS in Visual C++ enables buffer security checks (stack canaries), and GCC's -fmudflap options provide runtime buffer overflow protection. Option A correctly identifies both. Options B, C, D list optimization or unrelated flags that do not protect against buffer overflows.
