Isn't this the same as what the OpenBSD guys added to their GCC fork? I think it was called ProPolice.

- Someone 13y agoAccording to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection#GNU_Compiler_Collection_.28GCC.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection#GNU_..., it was IBM that developed ProPolice, and this is an evolution of a reimplementation by RedHat.
- d0 13y agoGotcha - thanks for the correction. Checked my sources and it was W^X they implemented at the same time as ProPolice and indeed it was IBM who built that.
