Comment (by adu):
I could not use valgrind because I am on Mac OS X. However, Apple has a
tool called '''leaks''' which was very helpful. Here is the output
[http://pastebin.ca/1274468 before] and [http://pastebin.ca/1274469 after]
garbage collection (GC). The recommended way of using leaks is to run it
on a PID while the program is running, and to do this I put manual hangs
so that parrot would stay around long enough to be tested. This is what
the files looked like for these tests.
For test 1 (before) main.c:main():
{{{
...
/* testing for memory leaks */
if (getenv("PARROT_LEAK_TEST"))
sleep(120);
Parrot_destroy(interp);
...
}}}
For test 2 (after) exit.c:Parrot_exit():
{{{
...
/* testing for memory leaks */
if (getenv("PARROT_LEAK_TEST"))
sleep(120);
exit(status);
...
}}}
