Hmm, there are similarities, but I see those as two different tools.  The 
resource alloc/dealloc checker keeps track of the "tokens" returned by an 
"alloc" functions and checks if they are deallocated.  The function 
entry/exit trace alone does not give you that.  (Well, if you print the args 
you could maybe work it out, but painfully.)
