NJAMD (Not Just Another Malloc Debugger) was a project I started after I realized memory issues in C were my biggest source of program bugs and the current solution at the time (Electric Fence) didn't have all the features I wanted. It eventually made it into RedHat, Debian, and a few other distributions, but fell by the wayside once Valgrind came on the scene. My last effort with the project was to rewrite it in C++, just to prove you could write something that low level successfully in C++ and have it still be just as fast, portable, and flexible as plain C. Unfortunately, I never polished or released the C++ code, but you can check it out of sourceforge.
