hi, I found this tool called valgrind (http://devel-home.kde.org/~sewardj/) a f= ew days ago and find it really interesting. It is something similair to purify (memory use debugger one could call it I guess) but GPL'ed and developed by the KDE team from what I can tell. I have been looking for this kind of tool for a long time and haven't found one I really like yet. As it is right now valgrind is x86&linux 2.4 specific (probably gcc specific too..) but I would really love to see a FreeBSD port. It should be quite possible to port the OS specific parts to handle FreeBSD systemcalls instead of Linux ones. Is anyone already looking in to this or interested? It would= be a great tool to debug the base system with as well as your own applications. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------.
