Better late than never, isn't it? Files linked against Electric Fence: https://code.launchpad.net/~junrrein/pantheon-files/files-electricfence/
Files linked against Duma (fork of Electric Fence): https://code.launchpad.net/~junrrein/pantheon-files/files-duma The first one doesn't seem to load Electric Fence on execution running. I can get efence to load dynamically (for any executable) by running "export LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so.0.0". Unfortunately, none of them seem to be useful. They make Files segfault on startup the first time something from Gtk (or GLib?) is called. I hope you find this useful anyway! What do you think about using Valgrind (via the Valkirye GUI)? 2013/7/23, José M.
