Abstract
A method of detecting runtime errors relating to a stack of a computer program can include during compilation of the computer program, inserting dummy variables between declarations in the stack. During execution of the computer program, if at least one of the dummy variables is accessed, a determination can be made that a runtime memory access error has occurred.
