Hi JKR. &nbsp;My System is Centos. &nbsp;I am not sure if I can downloadthe rpm for redhat and install it. &nbsp;By the way, mtrace seems to be included in glibc... &nbsp;So, where is it installed on a system?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Smalloc comes as source and in not just installed on your system. No need to download an RPM, the code is available via <a href="http://download.sourceforge.net/dmalloc/dmalloc-5.4.2.tgz" rel="ugc">http://download.sourceforge.net/dmalloc/dmalloc-5.4.2.tgz</a>&nbsp;- you need to compile that and link your application with it.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I want to see if my application has any memoryleak. &nbsp;Is there any tools that I can use? I found references to mtrace on web. &nbsp;But, It seems it is not installed on my Linux system...??<br />
<br />
-bash: mtrace: command not found<br />

Thanks,<br />

How to use mtrace to detect memory leaks

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
