LeakTracer is a small tool for checking a C++ program for memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
To use LeakTracer, run your program using the provided LeakCheck script. It
|
|
uses the LD_PRELOAD feature to "overlay" some functions on top of your
|
|
functions (no recompile needed).
|
|
|
|
LeakTracer uses gdb to print out the exact line where the memory was allocated
|
|
and not freed -- this of course means you have to free all dynamically
|
|
allocated data. LeakTracer also overrides the global operator new and operator
|
|
delete -- this will give problems if you override them as well.
|
|
|
|
LeakTracer traces only new/new[] and delete calls -- it does not look at
|
|
malloc/free/realloc.
