man memprof (Commandes) - memory profiler and leak detector

NAME

memprof - memory profiler and leak detector

SYNOPSIS

memprof [--follow-fork] [--follow-exec] [-- program -arg1 -arg2 arg3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

memprof is a tool for profiling memory usage and finding memory leaks. It can generate a profile how much memory was allocated by each function in your program. Also, it can scan memory and find blocks that you've allocated but are no longer referenced anywhere.

memprof works by pre-loading a library to override the C library's memory allocation functions and does not require you to recompile your program.

OPTIONS

--follow-fork
Create new windows for forked processes.
--follow-exec
Retain windows for processes after exec(3).
