Memory management
=================
This section describes memory management. See Error handling for how memory
exhaustion is handled.
Finding leaks on RISC OS
------------------------
Memory allocation can be traced and leaks can be found using dmalloc.
Install dmalloc from the riscos.info autobuilder. Set the environment variable
TLINK_MEMCHECK=dmalloc and re-link !RunImage.
On RISC OS,
*Set DMALLOC_OPTIONS debug=0x2,log=dmalloc_log
set the working directory to a RAM disc, and run NetSurf. When it quits,
dmalloc_log will contain a list of unfreed blocks.
