Description:

A link library that attempts to diagnose run-time errors that are
caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated memory. Along with
providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic memory
operations that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the mpatrol
library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of
dynamically allocated memory. All of this functionality can be
integrated into existing code through the inclusion of a single header
file at compile-time. All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol
library is sent to a separate log file in order to keep its
diagnostics separate from any that the program being tested might
generate. A wide variety of library settings can also be changed at
run-time via an environment variable, thus removing the need to
recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.
