Yesterday we decided to splurge in the posh restaurant St.Maxime in the picturesque town of Deventer and had "Oeufs bénédictine" for lunch.
Probably better known as Eggs Benedict - Wikipedia[^] in the states.
To my surprise Wikipedia mentions this was invented in the states, but to me it seems more likely that the origin was French.

Na, we have a lot of good recipes in France, but this one is definitely not French - has some origins in Quebec yet, so maybe a touch of French

I love eggs benedict, and will always order it if it is on the menu. My current favourite is on the breakfast menu of De Juf in Middelburg. EGGS BENEDICT €14,50, served on light multi-grain toast with avocado and poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce, options: warm smoked salmon, or pulled pork, or bacon, or tomato.
Delicious
The most over the top eggs benedict that I have had was made with lobster and served at the Atlantis Hotel, Paradise island, in The Bahamas. There was a huge aquarium built into the wall of the restaurant with, amongst other fish, sharks and rays.

Sounds good, have to remember that address when I visit Middelburg again

Yesterday I enjoyed fresh kale w/ raisins to my surprise. I insist on an egg w/ each meal however I can not recall last occasion I enjoyed same as much as I expected to.

Some of my code is causing heap corruption.
I don't know what code, but I suspect it's my SVG code. The issue is that it works sometimes. But if I look at it funny it starts crashing, and my stack trace keeps pointing me to different places depending on the seemingly unrelated changes I make in main(). Sometimes it points me to some font rendering code. Sometimes it points me to a seemingly innocuous assign to a local variable in my SVG parser code. It's maddening.
It doesn't reproduce on the PC, at least 64-bit. I haven't tried 32 because trying to get 32-bit executables built on a windows machine these days I think requires a VM?
I tried running Deleaker against it, not sure if it would pick up heap corruption - it either doesn't, or it isn't coming up on the PC.
Unfortunately, much of this code is derived in many places from work that wasn't mine to begin with, and so instrumenting it to detect heap corruption if I have to wrap all malloc/reallocs etc will cause me real pain.
I don't know what to do. Maybe this would rear its head if I had kilobytes instead of gigabytes of RAM? but i wouldn't even know how to set that up on a PC without altering my code to use a custom constrained heap.
I'm so frustrated I've put it down, but it's gnawing at me, because it's definitely blocking any attempt I make at releasing.
I wish these little IoT devices had good memory protection. It just now occurred to me to try this on an ARM and hope i can reproduce it. Maybe I'll get a better stack trace. Who knows?

Can you compile on Linux? There at least you have ulimit so you could restrict your stack size. A quick google leads to Windows Resource Manager, which may or may not be available.

Yeah it compiles everywhere I've tried. 
Hmmm, I have WSL. I hadn't heard of ulimit. Thanks

Also check out valgrind. It might give you some clues as to where to look.

Doesn't valgrind require instrumentation? I'm trying to avoid that, in favor of something that hooks the system calls.

Yeah, it probably does. But as a starting point, you could run under valgrind, with lots of stack, to see if it detects anything it thinks is not kosher (which might be everything you're doing from it's point of view  )
GNU libc allows you to hook various system calls : Hooks for Malloc (The GNU C Library) Maybe that can help? or the Previous link on that page re heap consistency checking?

It looks like valgrind has a utility that hooks for you.
However, it also looks like valgrind requires linux to build, so I'm doing it but it's more work than I originally hoped.

valgrind should be an installable package.

maybe it was. I built it from the sources.

Not if you're using older versions of Visual Studio. We have a couple products still maintained using Visual Studio 2008 that build for 32 bit.

We build a part of our application called "DriverHost" as 32-bits in VS2022 and .NET 8.
