var
  sName : String[10];
  ....
  sName :=  'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' ;
  ....

won't create any trouble. The compiler knows how long strings are when storing data. --FPK 23:32, 25 Feb 2005 (CET)

As I said, it's just a static example that even the compiler will find out... But first we need to understand what is a buffer overflow in order to know how to make a better workaround :) --ik_5

Is there some code that would

1. illustrate buffer overflow problem
2. not be detected by a range checking during runtime?

Ruza, the "Secure programming" page is about how to write a good code vs bad code that can cuse to a security risks in your networks, computer or to a data. Memory leak is not a security risk (unless in some way the data in an unclean data does expose to someone). It's only a bug... I will keep your section and rephrase your writing in the weekend so it will be better :) But please keep on contributing to this section :) Thanks,
