You probably won't be able to make much sense of the actual assertion errors, but they should help you locate incorrectly overwritten memory.

Calling malloc_stats or mallinfo with __UCLIBC_MALLOC_DEBUGGING__ set will attempt to check every non-mmapped allocated and free chunk in the course of computing the summmaries.

However, there are several add-ons and adaptations of this or other mallocs available that do this. |
