Run-Time Memory Tracking and Testing

There are several mechanisms available for tracking, testing, and debugging memory in Acucorp products and linked C programs. See Tracking Monitoring and Debugging Memory for more information about using these facilities from a C program.

All Acucorp products can monitor, test, and debug memory allocations. They can:

• Track memory boundaries, so that if the boundaries are corrupted a report is generated. This facility is called memory bounds checking.
• Track how much memory is allocated in each of six subsystems. This facility is called memory tracking.
• Output a description of each memory allocation, reallocation, and free by file and line, including a text message. This facility is called memory handling descriptions.
