When enabled (using heap_debug_dump_allocations_on_exit(true) or MALLOC_DEBUG=e) this causes a dump of all remaining allocations when libroot_debug is unloaded. It uses terminate_after to be called as late as possible. When combined with alloc stack traces this makes for a nice if a bit crude leak checker. Note that a lot of allocations usually remain even at that stage due to statically, lazyly and globally allocated stuff from the various system libraries where it isn't necessarily worth the overhead to free them when the program terminates anyway.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
