+ Emit extra code to check for buffer overflows, such as stack
+ smashing attacks. This is done by adding a guard variable to
+ functions with vulnerable objects. This includes functions
+ that call alloca, and functions with buffers larger than 8
+ bytes. The guards are initialized when a function is entered
+ and then checked when the function exits. If a guard check
+ fails, an error message is printed and the program exits.
