*scratch*

It is not a diary the most people have rather a *scratch* Emacs buffer. It keeps notes about everything related to Linux, Open Source, UNIX, MacOSX and software engineering.

AIX VA C/C++ heap debugger memdbg

Libraries to link with:

libhu.a
libhm.a

Compiler option to trigger compilation with memory debugging builtin:

-qheapdebug

Available functions under DBX:

_heap_check()
_dump_allocated()
_dump_allocated_delta()

Functions available from C/C++ to improve results of debugging with memdbg:

_uheap()
_uheapset()
_uheapwalk()

The fast way to change malloc behaviour is to introduce shell variable:

MALLOCTYPE=3.1

Means switch to legacy implementation of malloc, BSD style aka power of 2 boundaries allocations.
