Re: Mem Leak Tracer (monitored malloc)



Hi

I never used any of them, so I can't comment.

For my needs, ElectricFence is good enough. It is tiny, I understand
perfectly how it works, and what I can expect from it. Most others
are much bigger. The extreme is checker (package gccchecker in debian),
which puts some checks inside all memory access in your code (I think).

It's standard in RH and Debian, probably others. Read efence(3).
