80 * This class is designed to cause crashes when various kinds of memory
81 * corruption are observed. For instance, let's say we have a class C where we
82 * suspect out-of-bounds writes to some members. We can insert a member of type
83 * Poison near the members we suspect are being corrupted by out-of-bounds
84 * writes. Or perhaps we have a class K we suspect is subject to use-after-free
85 * violations, in which case it doesn't particularly matter where in the class
86 * we add the member of type Poison.
88 * In either case, we then insert calls to Check() throughout the code. Doing
89 * so enables us to narrow down the location where the corruption is occurring.
90 * A pleasant side-effect of these additional Check() calls is that crash
91 * signatures may become more regular, as crashes will ideally occur
92 * consolidated at the point of a Check(), rather than scattered about at
93 * various uses of the corrupted memory.
