Thanks. I just made a note of that!

So, someone else dug into the details of how C manages memory and wrote some code to help people find problems; makes good sense.

Not exactly - it's kind of like executing a C program in a sandbox. It intercepts all memory allocation requests and accesses, and can tell you if you access memory you did not request.

But how C programs behave regarding memory is well known and understood. However, it does require understanding basic memory concepts related to the operating system itself.
