A significant part of x86 installed base (all Intel Core CPUs starting
from gen 6 up to gen 9 and their Xeon contemporaries) has extension
named Itel MPX that was invented exactly for that purpose. But it didn't
work particularly well. Compiler people never liked it, but despite
that it was supported by several generations of gcc and probably by
clang as well.

The proper solution to your problem is to stop using memory-unsafe
language for complex application programming. It's not that successful
use of unsafe languages is for complex application programming is
impossible. The practice proved many times that it can be done. But
only by very good team. You team is not good enough.
