question is how do I get Linux to either dump core or give me some diagnostics (at every call to malloc or free, like SGI ;-) ) so I can find my more subtle screwups & fix them ? TIA
I see that you have lots of responses about alternate tools; on the question of core files, I just thought I would mention that my (default) install of SuSE 8.2 sets 'ulimit -Sc 0' in the system-wide /etc/profile file, which prevents core dumps. Don't know enough about ulimit to know if this blocks core-dumping in all cases, but it may have some bearing on your case. FWIW...
Yep, I had that problem also, but fixed it. Thanks :-)
