mtrace的使用示例

//program on wiki

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mcheck.h>
int main(void)
{
    mtrace();
    int * a;
    a = malloc(sizeof(int));
    muntrace();
    return 0;
}

//set MALLOC_TRACE=path_to_your_log_file and export it
[zrlean@gentoo]$ MALLOC_TRACE=log.0
[zrlean@gentoo]$ export MALLOC_TRACE
[zrlean@gentoo]$ rm log.0
[zrlean@gentoo]$ gcc -g3 -o mleak mleak.c  //notice that -g3 should be added to reverse map from assembly code to c code
[zrlean@gentoo]$ ./mleak
[zrlean@gentoo]$ ls log.0
log.0
[zrlean@gentoo]$ cat log.0 
= Start
@ ./mleak:[0x40053f] + 0x8c04460 0x4
= End

//0x40053f  -- is the place of the assmebly code where mem was allocated but not freed 
//             so we use gdb to find which line in the c code it corresponds to
//0x8c04460 -- is the pointer of the mem that is not freeed
//0x4       -- is the size of the memory leaked 

[zrlean@gentoo]$ gdb mleak

(gdb) info line *0x40053f
Line 7 of "mleak.c" starts at address 0x400535 <main+13> and ends at 0x400543 <main+27>.
(gdb) 

//so we know now 0x40053f corresponds to line 7 in mleak.cthat is
a = malloc(sizeof(int));
//and now we know that the address pointed by pointer a was failed to be freed.
