Yes, I think most of the time working on the project was working ob fixing memory bugs. GDB did a great job for me, have you tried to use it?

You can read about how NASA writes their code, I remember reading an article about it, which includes some great tips with how to avoid these kind of bugs. And I think also as other commenter said, new languages like Rust really help with avoiding bugs like that.
Yeah, it's kind of annoying to fix these bugs for me, even though GDB is a great debugging tool.
I always wonder if there are any techniques to avoid these kind of bugs in huge projects like OSes and browsers, otherwise it can be a nightmare
