Debug Malloc Library
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
Version 5.5.2 - May 2007
|
|
|
|
The debug memory allocation or "dmalloc" library has been designed as a
|
|
drop in replacement for the system's `malloc', `realloc', `calloc',
|
|
`free' and other memory management routines while providing powerful
|
|
debugging facilities configurable at runtime. These facilities include
|
|
such things as memory-leak tracking, fence-post write detection,
|
|
file/line number reporting, and general logging of statistics.
|
|
|
|
The library is reasonably portable having been run successfully on at
|
|
least the following operating systems: AIX, DGUX, Free/Net/OpenBSD,
|
|
GNU/Hurd, HPUX, Irix, Linux, Mac OSX, NeXT, OSF/DUX, SCO, Solaris,
|
|
Ultrix, Unixware, MS Windows, and Unicos on a Cray T3E. It also
|
|
provides support for the debugging of threaded programs. *Note Using
|
|
With Threads::.
|
|
|
|
The package includes the library, configuration scripts, debug
|
|
utility application, test program, and documentation. Online
|
|
documentation as well as the full source is available at URL
|
|
`http://dmalloc.com/'. Details on the library's mailing list are
|
|
available there as well.
|
|
|
|
Please use the forums at URL `http://dmalloc.com/' to discuss any
|
|
problems or to request features. If you are still having problems, the
|
|
author can be reached via his home page at URL `http://256.com/gray/'
|
|
with questions or feedback. Please include the version number of the
|
|
library that you are using, your machine and operating system types,
|
|
and the value of the DMALLOC_OPTIONS environment variable.

DOCUMENTATION:
|
|
|
|
Examine the dmalloc.html file which contains the user-documentation
|
|
for the dmalloc subsystem. There also is an dmalloc.info file which
|
|
can be installed in the emacs info directory and read with emacs/info
|
|
or the info program available from the texinfo package at GNU archive
|
|
sites. It is also suitable for reading as text. The source of all
|
|
documation is the dmalloc.texi texinfo file which also can generate
|
|
postscript or TeX hardcopy output with the help of the texinfo.tex
|
|
file. You can download the full documentation package or read it
|
|
online from the repository.

ARGV LIBRARY:
|
|
|
|
My argv library should have been included with this package
|
|
(argv.[ch], argv_loc.h). I use it with all my binaries. It functions
|
|
similar to the getopt routines in that it provides a standardized way
|
|
of processing arguments. However, that is where the similarity ends.
|
|
You have to write no C code to do the actual processing, it handles
|
|
short -l and long --logfile style options, gives standard short and
|
|
long usage messages, and many other features while trying to comply
|
|
with POSIX specs.
|
|
|
|
The newest versions of the argv library are available on the web:

THANKS:
|
|
|
|
Many net folk contributed to the design, development, and overall
|
|
library and my thanks goes out to them all.
