Hmm, both efence and checker from stable currently have problems with
C++ programs (at least, with _my_ C++ program).  For both packages
there are bug reports.  In the reply to the bug-reports from checker
the maintainer recommends installing a new version.  However, I can
only find a more recent version from checker than 0.8-8 in unstable.
Is there some more recent version from checker available for libc5
development?

Take a look at
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/homes/zorn/public_html/MallocDebug.html for a
list of tools relating to memory management debugging.  Note that it's not
complete (e.g. it misses "checker" which is debianized).

Re: a c++ version of efence

1997-11-10 Thread Bruce Perens
Yes, g++ operator new and operator delete and their vector variants
call malloc() and free(), and will work with Efence out of the box. 
This is not true for some other compilers and operating systems.

Thanks

Well, it is. But "new" eventually uses malloc() anyway.

Hi.

You can happily link electric-fence with c++ code using

g++ -o ...   *.o -u malloc -lefence
