You must use sysctl 2 to allow this. Try doing this instead of turning off the checking of freed memory. It provides immediate notification through segmentation fault if you do anything illegal with your memory. Weak is consider- ably faster than strict, and uses half as much memory. Unlike other mal- loc debuggers, saving the heap in NJAMD imposes no extra performance overhead on the system. Until then, read on to find out how to use gdb 1 to translate them for you.

NJAMD is a full featured malloc debugger. Do note that each version of the library performs consistancy checks so that you know if the opposite error occured when you try to free that block. This can be a problem if your program consists of a large amount of supporting libraries, and the static sec- tion is simply a main loop.

Unlike other mal- loc debuggers, saving the heap in NJAMD imposes no extra performance overhead on the system. You can obtain memory leak information at any point by setting a break point, and njamx issuing signal SIGUSR1 at that breakpoint. Until then, read on to find out how to use gdb 1 to translate them for you. Core dump sizes are limited to 4 megs and are probably next to useless because of the huge amount of mapping that takes place.

This even applies to the "none" option. These are human readable lines of the form njamd: In future versions of NJAMD, scripts or run- time functionality will be provided to translate these addresses on the fly to functions and niamd numbers.

However, when you are using a debugger, this behavior is not always desirable. Note that it is unavailable on platforms that don't support dlopen 2.

This is the default mode of operation. Try doing this instead of turning off the checking of freed memory. However, NJAMD's default action is to warn when either takes place, as either usually indicates a bug or at the very least, an unneeded call.

Unless otherwise stated, these environ- ment variables are tested. The address given is the actual address of the corresponding memory allocation in your code. Using your favorite debugger, you can pinpoint the source of error to the line, and even to the assembly instruction.

Do note that by default, some OS's do not allow you to map the entire address space. Use of this option is recommended when allocation intensive progams run out of memory under either of the preceding options, or njadm NJAMD is prohibively slow.

Be advised that the heap can take up as much as 8 megs on 32 bit systems. In Linux, for example, you must issue sysctl -w vm.

You must use sysctl 2 to allow this. The glibc folk found and fixed the bug in version 2.

It also comes with a very useful utility njamdpm 1 that allows you to do postmortem heap analysis. The default is njxmd forbid read, write, and execute attempts.

I've notified the gcc team, but received no response. The BSD's especially are hurt by this option, and Linux has a limit of mappings, which can be used up pretty quickly. RedHat 9 Linux i It provides immediate notification through segmentation fault if you do anything illegal with your memory. So over- writing these regions won't cause your program to crash right away, but will cause chaos during subsequent malloc requests, or even during usuage of memory returned from otherwise seemingly valid malloc NJAMD changes all this.

All other options can be set in the same mannor from with gdb, or in the shell's environment outside gdb. That is, it protects against all common dynamic memory bugs, including overflow, underflow, writes to freed memory, and memory leaks, all without recompiling or nmamd relinking your executable. At any rate, this option is provided as a workaround. B for existance only.
