[comp.unix.questions] HELP: memory allocation debugger wanted

moore@forty2.enet.dec.com (Paul Moore) (05/24/91)

Help!

I'm looking for a malloc()/free() debugger, that will allow me to detect 
when I'm overrunning allocated memory bounds, and allocated memory that 
is never subsequently freed. 

Thanks,

- Paul

I submitted a malloc replacement library that performed those kinds of
checks on malloced data.  It was posted to c.s.u last year at patchlevel 1.
The packages is currently at patchlevel 3 (patches were submitted, but I
have yet to see them appear).  If you need the entire package, or just
the patches, let me know & I will send them to you.
