Bearing in mind the strict adherence to DO-178B, is there any value in these compiler security options? Does my 64-bit build otherwise improve performance over the official Linux binary? $ for x in sqlite3 sqlite3.i386; do ll $x; hardening-check $x; done -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1954360 Jul 13 13:47 sqlite3 sqlite3: Position Independent Executable: yes Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found) Read-only relocations: yes Immediate binding: yes -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1169124 Jul 6 13:53 sqlite3.i386 sqlite3.i386: Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!

Furthermore, why is the sqlite3 binary offered in the tools collection compiled 32-bit?
This user space is 3 gigabytes on Linux, and 2 gigabytes on Windows.
Is this done so the DO-178B test suite can run correctly?

All of our tests run 64-bit, except when we are deliberately testing for compatibility with 32-bit hardware. We offer 32-bit downloads because people request them.

A thousand thanks for your reply.
I trust your judgment, but curious as to large joins or sorts with a 3/2Gb user space, in the context of Oracle's sort_area_size.
Focal question: is FORTIFY_SOURCE at all helpful, or should I discard it?

I will quote your sagacious reply in my article.
