Abstract
In our DSN 2021 paper, we introduced HeapCheck, a combination of hardware and software that provides strong protection against memory-safety vulnerabilities with minimal performance overhead. In this short paper, we discuss how HeapCheck can support programs that use very large numbers of objects, and we also compare HeapCheck to two recently announced industry approaches to memory-safety.
