Hey,

I'll add a reference to the mailing list at heaptr...@kde.org, but there is no
real website.

1) I have no personal experience about Cray. Is it running Linux or some other
kind of Unix? I suggest you try to compile it and then try to fix the issues
you encounter.

2) First of all, KDE is portable to macOS and lots of it is accessible via
homebrew afaik. That said, if you don't want to, you don't have to build
heaptrack_gui - it's optional.

Second, porting heaptrack the tracker to macOS is probably quite some effort.
Most notably, there are some Linux-only headers/APIs used which need to be
ported. Finally, heaptrack currently only expects and works with ELF
executables and DWARF debug information. So you'd have to add support for
mach-O and dSYM which is not an easy task. Also, I doubt libunwind works on
macOS. But if you find libraries that are similar to libbacktrace and
libunwind, one could probably try to port heaptrack. I just wonder - isn't the
heap profiler in Instruments pretty decent?
