Information:
This is a link library that attempts to diagnose runtime errors that are caused by the improper use of dynamically allocated memory.
Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the Mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of dynamically allocated memory.
All of this functionality can be integrated into existing code through the inclusion of a single header file at compile time.
All logging and tracing output from the Mpatrol library is sent to a separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics separate from any that the program being tested might generate.
A wide variety of library settings can also be changed at runtime, by way of an environment variable, thus removing the need to recompile or relink in order to change the library's behavior.
