when we run the program as follows, we see that
.br mtrace ()
diagnosed memory leaks at two different locations in the program:
.pp
.in +4n
.ex
.rb "$ " "cc \-g t_mtrace.c \-o t_mtrace"
.rb "$ " "export malloc_trace=/tmp/t"
.rb "$ " "./t_mtrace"
.rb "$ " "mtrace ./t_mtrace $malloc_trace"
memory not freed:
-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
address size caller
0x084c9378 0x64 at /home/cecilia/t_mtrace.c:12
0x084c93e0 0x64 at /home/cecilia/t_mtrace.c:12
0x084c9448 0x100 at /home/cecilia/t_mtrace.c:16
.ee
.in
.pp
the first two messages about unfreed memory correspond to the two
.br malloc (3)
calls inside the
.i for
loop.
the final message corresponds to the call to
.br calloc (3)
(which in turn calls
.br malloc (3)).
