Re: [GD-General] Memory manager question

[Ivan K. <ik...@ab...>]

Hi,

I'm developing a C/C++ library of debugging utilities, you can find it at

http://www.ikolev.com/DebugTools

After a few unsatisfactory solutions, I finally decided to keep all managed allocations in a splay tree. Whenever a deallocation request arrives, I search the tree for the specified pointer. The performance hit is so negligible, that I decided to keep the memory tracker in release code.

Regards,
Ivan
