CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC equivalent on AIX's xlC

Question

I am trying to detect if I have a memory leak on my AIX xlC compiled object. When using visual studio if I included CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC it would give me some printout information regarding memory leaks. Does xlC have something similar to use when debugging?

Answer 1

If you're using malloc() based heap allocation, you can try to use MALLOCDEBUG.

Third party tools like Parasoft's Insure++ would give a more indepth analysis but its not free.

Let me know how it turns out!
