Memory profiler - any suggestions?
Hi all,
I am trying to hunt down and kill a stubborn memory leak in my Apache /
auth_ldap configuration which is killing my box every few days.
I've been looking for a memory profiler that will allow me to run Apache
for a while, then give me a report on all memory leaks after Apache
exits. What complicates this obviously is the leak could be in the
auth_ldap module, so the profiler must be able to handle that.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Regards,
Graham

A quick search with Deja found an old but possibly helpful page:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/homes/zorn/public_html/MallocDebug.html
One tool it mentions is mprof, which sounds promising...
