Re: Finding Memory Leaks in ILE C

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

One technique is to create a wrapper around your memory functions and call a 
logging 
function when in debug or ?.  Last October or November, Midrange Computing 
published 
a set of procedures (in RPGIV) that performs memory allocation as well as 
logging if a 
global variable is set.  The procedures support heap, user space, and *LDA 
storage.  I 
think the article was titled "Stick it in Storage", if you are interested, I 
can find the source 
and mail you the link.

Let me apologize for posting a non-RPG question on this list, but my
desperation exceeds my etiquette.  We are mostly an RPG shop but are
developing some new applications in C on the AS/400 (no commentary,
please!) and are having our share of problems tracking down memory leaks.
Does anyone know of any tools for detecting memory leaks (along the lines
of  Electric Fence, MemTrace, Memory Sleuth, or numerous others) that run
on the AS/400?  Responses are much appreciated.
