NAME

ccmalloc - Link C++ object files with ccmalloc debugging library

SYNOPSIS

ccmalloc link line

DESCRIPTION

ccmalloc is a script that compiles object files from C++ code with the ccmalloc library. The resulting code can be profiled for memory leaks and other bad practices.

A typical project build might look like this:

  gcc -c -g -o mod1.o mod1.c            # compilation
  gcc -c -g -o mod2.o mod2.c            # compilation
  gcc -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm       # linking

Now you just have to replace the linking command with

ccmalloc gcc -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm # linking

You should copy /usr/share/doc/ccmalloc/examples/ccmalloc.cfg to .ccmalloc in your project directory and read it carefully.

Don't forget the -g compiler flag if you plan to use a debugger.
