Zusammenfassung:This paper describes a simple tool for diagnosing allocation errors in C-language [Kern 78] programs. Our tool consists of a traced replacement for the standard memory allocator, and a program to analyze traces. We have found this tool quite helpful in making long-running programs (e.g. text editors) more robust.
