All, I am wondering if there is a way to use memcheck or addrcheck, and just check for memory leaks, without checking for access errors? Also, does this save any time? Thanks, Heather Myers -- Failure Is Not An Option. It's bundled with your software. -- Anonymous |

That said, if you just want to check for memory leaks you can probably get away with something less heavyweight than Valgrind. I'm sure the Gnome folks used to have a standalone leak detector of some kind, but I can't remember any of the details. J |

There are a zillion basic leak checkers out there... mpatrol's manual has a section listing many of them. I believe they generally don't do as well as Memcheck/Addrcheck, because the addressability tracking done helps improve Memcheck/Addrcheck's accuracy. N |
