Using Dmalloc to locate memory-related application bugs

Posted by : Dr. Root | 16 May, 2007 | Published in

There are many tools out there to help developers find memory-related errors at runtime. But none of them is perfect. Dmalloc is a valuable open-source debugging package for C, C++ and Fortran developers that will supplement your other debugging tools.Dmalloc is especially useful when you have large applications that more powerful debugging tools can't handle well.

In a recently-published article on sun.com, Sun Engineer Greg Nakhimovsky explains how, with a few relatively minor adjustments, you can use Dmalloc on Solaris with Sun Studio compilers to locate memory-related application bugs...

Have a look at Greg's step-by-step article and happy debugging!
