Has anyone got a malloc functions that has debugging features? The problem I have is that there is a large piece of C code that does _a lot_ of mallocing of complex structures. The memory usage is so high that it doesn't run a 440. I know that a least some of the structures are freed after use but I need to know if there is any other memory that the structure pointed to that is not freed. The guy who wrote it ran it on UNIX workstations so he didn't notice the bug. If some-one could send me a new malloc function I'd be very grateful. Also any other ideas why so much the Arch memory is used and / or how to investigate would be appreciated.
