> Example: in FreePascal there is an option for stack checking:

Stack overflow checking is common on CPUs with no virtual memory, such as 16
bit DOS. Virtual memory systems get stack overflow checking "for free", by
marking the memory page beyond the end of the stack as neither readable nor
writeable. Then the hardware does the check for you.

The stack smashing thing is completely different.
