***BOGO*** [Mingw-users] question about mpatrol

[Vincent Torri <vtorri@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I'm using mpatrol to check a bit the leaks in a lib.

First, i would like to mention that when I use mpatrol installer on SF, 
the installed mpatrol does not work. I have to compile it from source. I 
think that the installer should be removed, or updated.

Now, I have a question about leaks. I installed mpatrol in /usr/local.

Test program:


#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   char *p;

   p = (char *)malloc(16);

   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I allocate some memory but I do not free it.

I compile the program with:

gcc -g -Wall -include /local/include/mpatrol.h -o leak leak.c -L/local/lib -lmpatrol -lbfd -liberty -limagehlp

I execute mpatrol:

MPATROL_OPTIONS=LOGALL mpatrol ./leak.exe

when I look at the log file, there is no mention of memory that is not 
freed. I tried other options of mpatrol : LEAKTABLE, PROF, SHOWUNFREED, 
without more success.

So is it normal that, in that case, mpatrol does not report a memory leak 
?

thank you

Vincent Torri
