CCured
Source-to-source translator for C, which analyzes the program to determine the smallest number of run-time checks that must be inserted in the program to prevent all memory safety violations.

Compilercache
Caches compiled object files to dramaticly speed up compiles. More convenient than make, and speeds up builds (like RPM builds) that make doesn't. Obsoleted by ccache.
