Learn the commands that let you move up and down the stack when debugging C and C++ programs.

Smash-stacking attacks are common, but the GCC and Clang compilers have a number of flags that can help defend against them. Read on for more info.

Version 12 of GCC implements much of the recent C++ standard, allows a number of previously prohibited constructs, and fixes some problematic behaviors.

New features and a substantial reduction in false positives bring GCC's static analysis closer to being production-ready for C code.

Find out how GCC 12 detects Trojan Source attacks, a new software vulnerability that uses reversed Unicode text to hide malicious code.
