Description : A powerful library for debugging memory allocations
The mpatrol library is a powerful debugging tool that attempts to
diagnose run-time errors that are caused by the wrong use of
dynamically allocated memory.
.
Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all
dynamic memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a
program, the mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect
any misuse of dynamically allocated memory.
.
All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol library is sent
to a separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics separate
from any that the program being tested might generate.
A wide variety of library settings can also be changed at
run-time via an environment variable, thus removing the need to
recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.
.
All of this functionality can be integrated into existing code
through the inclusion of a single header file at compile-time.
