I found the following *very* useful when programming numerical software:

    *** GCC 2.7.2 with Bounds Checking: Version 1.02 released ***
    
    The latest version of the patches that give full fine-grained bounds
    checking to GCC (C only) have been released and are available from:
    
    	ftp://dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/misc/bcc
    
    Please read the latest README file in that directory which will tell
    you how to install and compile the patches. There are also binary
    distributions for the following machines:
    
    	i486-unknown-linux (ELF only)
    
    For more information, there are WWW pages for this software:
    
    	http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rj3/bounds-checking.html
    	http://www-ala.doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/BoundsChecking.html

Hope this helps,
