by Is there a way to control how linux/gcc sets its protections on memory and
code?
It seems that it is possible for a program, via bad pointer operations,
to modify its own code. Is there a way to prevent this, and to cause a
segmentation fault so that the faulty code may be found?
I have a program that seems to occasionally generate ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION
errors... and Linux claims that this could be due to self modifying code.
