Hardbound: architectural support for spatial safety of the C programming language
The C programming language is at least as well known for its absence of spatial memory safety guarantees (i.e., lack of bounds checking) as it is for its high performance. C'...

Data Slicing: Separating the Heap into Independent Regions
In this paper, we present a formal description of data slicing, which is a type-directed program transformation technique that separates a program’s heap into several independent...
