1 1.) Introduction
2 This project is a simple memory leak checker.
3 It is intended for simple (small) C projects
4 where memory leaks may be a concern. It is
5 not intended to replace the more powerful
6 debugging tools out there. Rather, it is
7 intended to be an easy to use simple check.
8
9 2.) Brief overview
10 It works my defining macros that logs memory
11 allocation, reallocation and freeing. If all
12 of the memory allocated is not freed, the
13 scanner will alert you of that.
14
15 3). Simple Howto
16 To start using this project you would add the line
17 "#include <mem_check.h>" into your program and replace
18 the stdlib functions as shown below.
19 data = malloc(size); ---> allocate_memory(data,size);
20 new = realloc(old,size); ---> realloc_memory(new, old, size);
21 free(data); ---> free_memory(data);
22
23 Next, add the line "init_mem_check();"
24 before any memory handling function calls.
25 Lastly, add the line "close_mem_check();"
26 after your last memory handling call.
27
28 If you recompile your program and run it you
29 should see a new file mem_check.log
30
31 If you want to temporarily disable the new macro's and
32 reinstate the stdlib versions, then add the line
33 #define MEM_CHECK 0
34 above the line
35 #include <mem_check.h>
