- Purify does two things.
-
- 1) It traces memory leaks.
-
- 2) It gives warnings when accessing uninitialized memory.
-
- We have used purify for some weeks now and it has been very useful. One example
- is an application we have that sometimes used too much memory. Purify reported
- that it leaked 30 % of the used memory. It took less than a day to reduce the
- leakage to only a few percent.
-
- A am sure that purify will be very useful for us in the future.
