Dear DeleGate users,

I inform you of the new release of DeleGate available as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DeleGate/8.10.2(BETA) -- become easy to be compiled with Bounds-Checking Gcc

You can be completely free from any kind of array overflows anywhere,
including buffer overflows on stack, using the "Bounds-Checking Gcc" (BCC).
This version of DeleGate become easy to be compiled with BCC like follows:

  $ BCCHOME=/where/your/bounds-checking/gcc
  $ make CC="$BCCHOME/xgcc" CFLAGS="-B$BCCHOME -fbounds-checking"

  $ export GCC_BOUNDS_OPTS="-no-message -no-statistics -no-warn-overlap"
  $ delegated -Pxxxx ...

The executable file is about three times larger than the one without BCC,
but the execution speed is feasible in most cases.  I tested it only with
gcc-3.4.2 (recent version) on RedHat/7.1 (ancient version:p).

See the followings for more details on the "Bounds-Checking Gcc".
