Re: memory leakage detection tools

You can also try "memprof" -- a gnome app I believe, for visualizing and
tracking memory leaks by using a mark-and-sweep garbage collector to
find allocated chunks that are not referenced anywhere, or something
like that. Worked very well for me on a few items. Sometimes its helpful
to link against debug builds of libraries though as I found sometimes
the stack traces would get messed up without the debugging symbols for
glibc and what not. Only problem with the memprof version I used (it was
a while ago) is I couldn't figure out how to set the command line
arguments for the process I wanted to profile.

Good luck!

i've conducted some "research" (you might call it) for development tools
for linux (including malloc debugging libraries) for a lecture i carried
in our local linux club - look at the slides:
http://linuxclub.il.eu.org/newcomers/lectures/6/ide.html

and specifically under 'Debug libraries'.

hope this helps,
