hi,
What software tool is recommended for examining memory leaks in code?
Does a close cousin of Purify exist for LinuxPPC/ What do you coders
recommend?
thanks,
Mike

I've never used Purify, so I can't offer a comparison, but...
I've found that dmalloc works quite well for debugging memory
allocation related problems. See http://dmalloc.com/.

I've used purify in a SunOS environment and it worked great. Combined with
Pure Coverage I was able to test all my code for memory leaks. I'm not
sure if it's available for LinuxPPC, but maybe for Linux i386.
