- Short: Memory allocation debug library. V1.1.3.
- Author: graeme@epc.co.uk (Graeme Roy)
- Uploader: graeme@epc.co.uk (Graeme Roy)
- Type: dev/debug
-
- The mpatrol library is yet another link library that attempts to diagnose
- run-time errors that are caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated
- memory. If you don't know what the malloc() function or operator new[] do
- then this library is probably not for you. You have to have a certain
- amount of programming expertise and a knowledge of how to run a command
- line compiler and linker before you should attempt to use this.
-
- Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic
- memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the
- mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of
- dynamically allocated memory. All of this functionality can be integrated
- into existing code through the inclusion of a single header file at
- compile-time. On UNIX and Windows platforms (and AmigaOS when using gcc)
- this may not even be necessary as the mpatrol library can be linked with
- existing object files at link-time or, on some platforms, even dynamically
- linked with existing programs at run-time.
-
- All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol library is sent to a
- separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics separate from any that
- the program being tested might generate. A wide variety of library settings
- can also be changed at run-time via an environment variable, thus removing
- the need to recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.
