Description
This option determines whether the compiler generates code that detects some buffer overruns that overwrite the return address. This is a common technique for exploiting code that does not enforce buffer size restrictions.
This option always uses an Intel implementation.
For a gcc-compliant version of this feature, see option fstack-protector.
