[Pocl-devel] Finding allocation errors

[Erik S. <esc...@pe...>]

I'm finding that many of the object allocation/deallocation routines are
not careful about allocation and freeing memory. I think that some
reference counting may be necessary, but this doesn't seem to be employed
consistently.

Should we add "magic markers" into the objects, which would help identify
routines accessing objects that have been freed? I am thinking in
particular of program, kernel, and mem objects, i.e. adding such markers to
their declarations in pocl_cl.h, and checking them in various places.
