Short: Link library to debug memory problems Author: Doug Walker Uploader: Haidinger Walter Type: dev/debug Replaces: dev/debug/MemLib.lha Requires: SAS/C v6.0+ This is a bug-fix release of Doug Walker's MemWatch Library. He also granted permission for an Aminet upload. Thanks! A short description taken from memlib.doc: The MemWatch library adds lots of memory debugging features that you link into your program. The library does what it can to validate your memory allocations and frees and to encourage any misuse of memory to result in a reproducable crash rather than an erratic bug. The MemWatch library compiles under SAS/C 6.0 and above. If the memory features are turned off, no additional code will be added to your program. If they are enabled, your code will call routines in the MemWatch library automatically instead of malloc, calloc, realloc, free, AllocMem, FreeMem, AllocVec, and FreeVec. The MemWatch library also replaces the standard C library versions of getcwd(), getenv(), and strdup() since these functions call malloc(). The program-level memory debug routines are controlled by a preprocessor symbol, MWDEBUG, and are #defined to nothing if the symbol is not defined. To link the program-level routines into your code, do the following: [partially cutted, read memlib.doc for more info --Walter] 1. Include the file "memwatch.h" into each file 2. #define the symbol MWDEBUG to 1 at some point before memwatch.h is included. 3. Recompile all files in your program and link with "memwatch.lib". ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 841 500 40.5% 03-May-96 13:54:10 Build.info 2632 1712 34.9% 03-May-96 13:54:10 Debug 459 303 33.9% 03-May-96 13:54:12 Debug.info 838 540 35.5% 03-May-96 13:54:12 Edit.info 42084 14143 66.3% 24-Aug-97 12:07:50 example 1303 615 52.8% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 example.c 835 396 52.5% 12-Dec-96 00:12:56 example.info 10994 10994 0.0% 12-Dec-96 10:11:06 Icons.lha 14073 4949 64.8% 16-May-96 12:13:58 memlib.doc 838 317 62.1% 03-May-96 13:54:16 memlib.doc.info 1598 838 47.5% 29-Aug-97 22:30:20 memlib.readme 5706 1837 67.8% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mempriv.h 844 369 56.2% 12-Dec-96 11:03:00 memwatch.gst.info 4203 1382 67.1% 20-Jan-97 19:58:00 memwatch.h 29768 10022 66.3% 24-Aug-97 12:07:40 memwatch.lib 11300 3579 68.3% 03-Jan-97 20:39:24 mwcontrol.c 11313 3579 68.3% 12-Dec-96 13:10:08 mwcontrol.c.orig 77 77 0.0% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mwflags.c 272 179 34.1% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mwgetcwd.c 249 157 36.9% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mwgetenv.c 77 77 0.0% 24-Aug-97 12:07:06 mwlogname.c 1690 626 62.9% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mwreport.c 1124 462 58.8% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 mwstrdup.c 245 93 62.0% 21-Dec-96 10:22:08 precomp.c 579 318 45.0% 16-May-96 12:13:50 READ.ME 493 321 34.8% 24-Aug-97 23:25:04 READ.ME.Changes 838 314 62.5% 03-May-96 13:54:12 READ.ME.Changes.info 838 314 62.5% 03-May-96 13:54:12 READ.ME.info 325 220 32.3% 21-Dec-96 10:09:08 scoptions 470 273 41.9% 03-May-96 13:54:12 SCoptions.info 1002 409 59.1% 24-Aug-97 12:05:58 smakefile 838 203 75.7% 03-May-96 13:54:26 smakefile.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 148746 60118 59.5% 04-Sep-97 21:15:54 32 files
