Short: V40 Enforcer,detect illegal RAM accesses Author: Enforcer@sinz.org (Mike Sinz) thomas.richter@alumni.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thomas richter alumni tu-berlin de (Thomas Richter) Type: dev/debug Version: 47.1 Requires: a 68020/68851, 68030, 68040 or 68060 with a working MMU Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MuForce is based on the Enforcer © 1992-1998 Mike Sinz, check http://www.users.fast.net/~michael_sinz/Enforcer/index.html MuForce is a mmu.library aware debugging tool that works very much like Mike Sinz's "Enforcer" debugging tool. The "Enforcer" sources were provided by Michael Sinz and have been re-worked to get aware of the "mmu.library". Thanks a lot, Mike! MuForce is able to detect "lost pointers" by access-protecting memory regions that should not be touched. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This tool is part of the MMULib distribution. To find out more about the mmu.library and its goals, download util/libs/MMULib.lha. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New in release 47.1: - This release supports SegTracker v47 and is able to print symbol and line number information of MuForce hits if such information is present in the faulty binary and SegTracker had been instructed to load it. - SegTracker v47 is included as contribution. New in release 46.4: - The Alert and Guru patches now also print the PC at which the fault was detected. - Also included a new version of the disassembler.library which fixes the disassembly of fmovem with multiple immediate sources. New in release 46.3: - Not much changed, though StackCheck now also checks data through SegTracker that is not longword aligned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quick installation notes: - Copy LIBS/mmu.library to LIBS: - Copy LIBS/disassembler.library to LIBS: - Keep MuForce and its guide whereever you want. - Read the MMU.Guide and MuForce.guide as soon as you've some time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The THOR-Software Licence (v3, January 2nd 2021) This License applies to the computer programs known as the "mmu.library" and "MuForce".
