- Debug tool for pool-allocations (OS3.x)
- .description
- PoolWatch is a debug tool for OS 3.0 and higher designed to watch and
- correct illegal allocation and freeing of memory that use the
- pool-functions provided in OS 3.0 and upwards. PoolWatch is necessary
- since Mungwall do not catch any illegal memory handling concerning
- pool-allocations.
-
- PoolWatch is especially useful in combination with Enforcer, Mungwall
- (which will watch normal allocations that use AllocMem/FreeMem),
- SegTracker and FindHit (included in the Enforcer archive).
-
- If SegTracker is running in the system when PoolWatch is started,
- PoolWatch will use the public SegTracker seglist tracking for
- identifying the hunk and offset into the executable doing illegal
- allocations.
-
- You *need* sushi to run PoolWatch. PoolWatch will use kprintf() to
- output text, and without sushi (or a terminal-program :) you will not
- be able to see the text. Future versions will probably support output
- to stdio too.
