Memory leak detector

Hi there,

As many programmers i like crawling the web and i found this link :
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robertwalker/memleakcheck/

And an idea came to me...
As many of us are lazy developpers, i thought the public sources of this tool could be part of a PellesC extention that could check our code after compilation time to avoid us bad surprises ;-P

Just an idea, but can be a useful one ;-P

See ya,
Gerome

Hello,

Thank you for this useful link!  

Sounds like a good idea. Can't promise I will add it to the next release, but soon, I hope.

Hi group,

if you would like to get rid of memory management chores once and for all, check out http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/.

The BDW garbage collector is compact, stable and fast. I regard it very highly.

Thanks Hans,

I've already used the GC and it works fine
But his was not exactly the debate
It was a simple tool which usage will to show the programmer he has to revisit his code in order to avoid coding with his shoes

Yours,

Bonjour Gerome,

well, the reason I suggested to use the BWD garbage collector was not just for convenience. It also has a mode that detects memory leaks. In this mode, you'd still 'free' every '(m|c)alloc' and use the collector to detect any leaks.

For shipment, you'd leave the gc out.

salut

Hans
