I have written an application in C, and I'm trying to understand what is the purpose of the -fno-stack-protector command when compiling. For my specific application, it makes no difference if I use this command or not in terms of protecting against buffer overflow.
I've read online that the -fstack-protector and -fno-stack-protector commands enable and disable respectively the stack-smashing protector, but if I'm compiling the application myself, how can the protector be enabled beforehand? Does the usage of the command maybe depend on what system the application is running on?
In the standard/stock GCC, stack protector is off by default. However, some Linux distributions have patched GCC to turn it on by default. In my opinion, this is rather harmful, as it breaks the ability to compile anything that's not linked against the standard userspace libraries unless the Makefile specifically disables stack protector. It would even break the Linux kernel build except that the distributions with this hack added additional hacks to GCC to detect that the kernel is being built and disable it.
If you compile with -fstack-protector, then there will be a little more space allocated on the stack and a little more overhead on entry to and return from a function while the code sets up the checks and then actually checks whether you've overwritten the stack while in the function.
when you're using a build system that may have a complex configuration that you want to tweak. Instead of figuring out where in a maze of makefiles it might be choosing to use fstack-protector (for example), it may let you easily pass in additional options that simply get tacked on to the end of the list of options. If GCC sees both fstack-protector and fno-stack-protector in the set of options, the last one on the command line is the one that takes effect.
the other time this kind of thing might be handy (which doesn't seem to apply to -fstack-protector, however) is when you have an option that turns on a bunch of 'sub-options'. For example, setting -O2 turns on a slew of -fxxx optimization options,and you may want to use -O2 for the most part but don't want GCC's strict aliasing optimizations. So you can specify -fno-strict-aliasing to set that particular option back to its default setting. (Note: this case is really equivalent to the case above)
I read a lot of Amazon reviews and all of them I found wrote that the screen-protectors didn't fit very well on the 6 Pro Solar (since the glass of the solar version seems to be a little bigger than the normal 6 Pro version) and they had 1mm free space around the protector.
Hello 9172004, what were results in using the Suoman 3-Pack for Garmin Fenix 6 Screen Protectors?
As I am in search of a screen protector for my new fēnix 6 Pro Solar, without having a gap around the edge and not impeding the solar charging capability.
Also installing is a breeze as they're installed using a wet system, give a spray to the watchface and slide into place. One tip I picked up and told the seller, it's much better to wait at least 12 hours until you initially clean the protector.
After Apple Pencil was launched, more and more people use iPad and Apple Pencil for their daily work and other purposes; however, the real feeling when write or draw on the real paper may be something most users would love to have. SwitchEasy designed SwitchPaper drawing screen protector based on the concept of real feeling. This magic screen protector enriches user experience and is made for users who love to have the precision of paper in a paperless environment.
The function of FXR is expanded rapidly from initial roles in controlling metabolism to regulating cell growth and malignancy. The novel roles of FXR in promoting liver regeneration and protecting against hepatocarcinogenesis, however, are consistent with its previously defined functions in regulating BA metabolism and defending against BA toxicity. Therefore, we conclude that FXR is an important cell protector. We expect that further investigation of FXR function in these new areas will provide novel insights into the complex mechanism of liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis.
