kminspector1

Usage

Overview

KMinspector runs the given program, examines its memory allocation behaviour using libktrace and pipes the resulting allocation tree through less.

The given program does not need to be specially compiled.

This utility is provided with KMtrace, a KDE tool to assist with malloc debugging using glibc's "mtrace" functionality. Unfortunately the mtrace that is part of current (9/9/2000) glibc versions only logs the return-address of the malloc/free call. The library included with KMtrace logs a complete backtrace upon malloc/free.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
