[net.lang.c] Wanted: malloc/free test

nw@vaxine.UUCP (Neil Webber) (10/23/86)

Before I go write one myself, does anyone out there have a set of routines
to test malloc/free implementations?  (ideally realloc too).  I'm looking
for something that allocates and frees various sized pieces of memory in
pseudo-random order.  It should also write some sort of pattern into
allocated memory and check to be sure that nothing is getting smashed.

If you post, please also reply to me by mail.  I have trouble keeping
up with all the news.

Yours for more reliable software ...

If yer on a Sun, check the man page for malloc...there exists a debugging
suite in their debugging C-libraries.
