Zusammenfassung:A method to detect memory leaks during dynamic memory allocation comprises generating statistical information regarding allocated chunks in a memory heap during a dynamic memory allocation process, with the statistical information including same-sized chunk information related to the number of allocated chunks being identical in size. The statistical information is monitored to identify a potential memory leak based at least in part on the same-sized chunk information, in response to which an alert signal is generated.
