Bug#97800: ITP: leakbug -- Memory leak tracing library



Package: wnpp
Severity: whishlist

Url: http://www.gnupdate.org
License: LGPL 2.1

The leakbug library is a small, simple library intended to show where memory leaks are occuring
within a program. 

Leakbug does not report leaks due to incorrect use of another library (i.e., a function in a library
allocates memory, and you never freed it). It acts this way for a reason. When I wrote leakbug, I
wanted to make sure that my libraries and programs were not leaking memory. That is where leakbug
comes in handy. 

For the record, I use dmalloc to test for leaks as well. It is a great library and I highly recommend
using it for all programs.
