This is the Watchman security framework. Watchman adds more random numbers to the heap and stack and checks them more frequently than existing security systems. If you are compiling C and C++ code where security matters more than performance then the Watchman framework is a good tradeoff to make. Watchman is still in alpha, and is not ready for production.
