man ccmalloc (Commandes) - Link C++ object files with ccmalloc debugging library
NAME
ccmalloc - Link C++ object files with ccmalloc debugging library
SYNOPSIS
ccmalloc [ --no-wrapper ] [ gcc | g++ ] [ compiler-option ... ] file...
DESCRIPTION
ccmalloc is a script that compiles object files from C or C++ code with the ccmalloc library. The resulting code can be profiled for memory leaks and other bad practices.
The script is used as a replacement of the link line. When used with C++ code, simply prefix the command line with ccmalloc. For example, if you normally link your program using g++ -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm
you simply use the following instead
ccmalloc g++ -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm
With C code, prefix the command line instead with ccmalloc --no-wrapper to disable the C++ wrapper. Linking C code with the C++ wrapper results in unresolved symbols.
Note that only gcc, g++, and g++-2.95 (on systems that have GCC 2.95) are recognized as compilers.
You should copy /usr/share/doc/ccmalloc/examples/ccmalloc.cfg to .ccmalloc in your project directory and read it carefully.
Don't forget the -g compiler flag if you plan to use a debugger.
