What is PoolWatch ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PoolWatch is a debug tool for OS 3.0 and higher designed to watch and
correct illegal allocation and freeing of memory that use the
pool-functions provided in OS 3.0 and upwards.  PoolWatch is necessary
since Mungwall do not catch any illegal memory handling concerning
pool-allocations.

PoolWatch is especially useful in combination with Enforcer, Mungwall
(which will watch normal allocations that use AllocMem/FreeMem),
SegTracker and FindHit (included in the Enforcer archive).

If SegTracker is running in the system when PoolWatch is started,
PoolWatch will use the public SegTracker seglist tracking for
identifying the hunk and offset into the executable doing illegal
allocations.


What does PoolWatch do ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PoolWatch will patch CreatePool(), DeletePool(), AllocPooled(), and
FreePooled() in exec.library.  PoolWatch will use these functions but
will add extra security on top of all pool-allocations.  In most cases
of illegal allocation/freeing, PoolWatch will report the error to the
user and correct the problem (if possible).  Please note that
PoolWatch does not offer any memory protection if a task writes to a
random addresse in memory, but will take care of most problems
associated with pool allocations.
