This software mitigation technique for Rowhammer could also be useful for improving the reliability of programs running on microcontrollers in high radiation environments, e.g. satellite in Earth orbit.
By maximising the Hamming distance between binary values used in enumerations (enum variables) and boolean variables, one could detect if the code has entered an invalid execution path and then trigger a watchdog reset, e.g. an else statement or a switch statement with a fall through case that would not normally be reachable.
