12:04:48clothespinI have asked this before but have not gotten an answer, I don't know if that means there is no answer...are there any tools I can use to do memory leak detection of foreign library code used by sbcl?
12:10:47jcowanIME those tools tend to assume a C-like layout of memory, which may not be the case in SBCL.
12:15:09clothespindo you think that applies to all such tools?
12:17:49jcowanIf you consider memory as just a featureless array of bytes, what does "leak" even mean?
12:18:57clothespinmemory that should be freed by C++ delete but isn't
12:19:46jcowanBut that assumes the C/C++ memory allocator, whatever it is. If a language doesn't use that but takes control of allocation itself, the tool will not understand it.
