Does GNU have a debug aid to help locate improper uses of memory such as
array indexes out of bounds, referenced freed memory, freeing memory twice,
Not freeing memory, etc.

It would be nice if the compiler had a flag to add this kind of error.  Only
the compiler could catch the following:
	int a[3][3];
	a[0][4] = 1;
A flag would allow optimizing the code after debugging by removing the check.
