Hi All!

This is to let you know that enabling of Intel® MPX technology (see details in http://download-software.intel.com/sites/default/files/319433-015.pdf) in GCC has been started. (Corresponding changes in binutils are here - http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-07/msg00233.html)

Thanks, this is interesting.

Can userspace update the translation tables for bounds? Are the bounds stored in Bound Table Entries relative to the starting linear address of pointer (LAp) or absolute? The former would allow sharing bound table pages for different pages having memory objects of the same size (which happens with some malloc implementations).
