-/* Pointer bounds checking is a no-op unless running on hardware
- supporting Intel MPX (Intel Skylake or better). Also, it requires
- GCC 5 and Linux kernel 3.19, or later. Configure with
- CFLAGS='-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx', perhaps with
- -fchkp-first-field-has-own-bounds thrown in.
-
- Although pointer bounds checking can help during debugging, it is
- disabled by default because it hurts performance significantly.
- The checking does not detect all pointer errors. For example, a
- dumped Emacs might not detect a bounds violation of a pointer that
- was created before Emacs was dumped. */
