On a server, I'm installing the Adamantix project (http://adamantix.org/) wich is a Debian GNU/Linux distribution hardned with special security patches and extensions applied to the kernel, compilers and standard packages.

One of those patches is really interesting for the ng:

<quote>
* Buffer overflow protection by using a special GCC compiler patch called
Stack Smashing Protector (SSP). This compiler is also used to compile the
kernel, to protect against kernel buffer overflows.
</quote>

AFAIK the patch was developed on IBM as an open-source patch to GCC and EGCS. I know that buffer overflows aren't much problem in D but... Any chance of getting this into DMD?

Thanks
