GSoC and SAFECode
...m's bulk build infrastructure, so I'm confident that I could test SAFECode on a handful of important projects or even en masse. I'm open to other project ideas as well. If anyone else is mentoring a project that seems like a good fit for me, please share. Thanks for your time, Michael McConville

[PATCH] strlen -> strnlen optimization
This addition converts strlen() calls to strnlen() when the result is compared to a constant. For example, the following: strlen(s) < 5 Becomes: strnlen(s, 5) < 5 That way, we don't have to walk through the entire string. There is the added overhead of maintaining a counter when using strnlen(), but I thought I'd start with the general case. It may make sense to only use this

...grity, or you could write optimizations for the software-fault isolation instrumentation (which would improve both KCoFI and Virtual Ghost, if you are familiar with those papers of mine). Does any of these projects sound interesting to you?

oplocks and mixed unix/smb file access
...cked into cvs using the NT CVS client talking to a Unix CVS server. Is it safe to use oplocks in this case? If not - should I separate the CVS subtree into a completely separate share (or sub-share?) or is it possible to veto oplocks for all files in a (cvs) subtree of a share? Thanks, -- Aideen McConville

JBuilder Reload buffers? confusion (any update?)
Hi, We've got some Java projects that are being developed on both Unix and NT and we're struggling with JBuilder 2.0 and its "File has been externally updated, reload buffers?" messages. Has anyone found a fix? Is it a bug in JBuilder? i.e should I save my hair and not spend any more time investigating/trying to fix this problem? More info: Our NT machines access files from
