BigWorld provides a singleton class called
MemTracker, which provides the following
functionality:
-
Automatic leak detection and reporting.
-
Allocation id.
-
A stack trace for each allocation that leaked.
The first two features are enabled by default without adding any instrumentation or running any external programs. Once leaks are identified, users can re-run the application and break on a given allocation id.
MemTracker works on both Windows and Linux
platforms. The stack trace functionality is only available in debug
configurations.
