2007-05-14 Gray Watson <>
* Removed some left-over references to the dmalloc.info file.
Thanks Bernard.
* Fixed some unsigned/signed issues in one of the dmalloc_t tests.
Thanks Bernard.
* Fixed problems with configure and SL_LINK_OBJS. Thanks Bernard.
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.5.2.
2007-03-25 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed some problems with str[n]dup argument checking.
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.5.1.
2007-03-24 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed bug where LOG_PNT_SEEN_COUNT set to 0 caused segfault in
dmalloc_examine. dmalloc_t was also not handling the setting
appropriated.
* Fixed bug with the checking of the MAX_FILE_LENGTH.
2007-03-23 Gray Watson <>
* Revamped the chunk.c tests for user_pnt space. Added support
for strnlen sizing. Added better checking of non-exact user
pointers.
* Added dmalloc_verify_pnt_strsize to support strnlen size testing.
2007-03-22 Gray Watson <>
* Added missing DMALLOC_FUNC_CHECK routines: atoi, atol, memmove
* Added a number of special checks for DMALLOC_FUNC_CHECK stuff.
* Fixed all of the DMALLOC_FUNC_CHECK arguments thanks to Nickolai.
2007-03-12 Gray Watson <>
* Improved some documents after user feedback. Thanks Renny.
2007-02-08 Gray Watson <>
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.5.0.
2006-03-27 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed a problem with arg-check dmalloc code and check-fence.
2006-03-23 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed a section of the manual about Cygwin thanks to Pierre.
* Fixed a problem with Cygwin env parsing. Thanks to Pierre and
others.
2005-12-21 Gray Watson <>
* Added a section on dumping core in the manual.
* Added a number of regression tests for the arg-check code.
2005-12-19 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed some problems with function argument checking and length
arguments. The library was not handling strncmp correctly for
example.
* Added handling of strndup function.
* Added overlapping memory check for memcpy if memmove exists.
* Added __FILE__ and __LINE__ arguments to function checks. Not
sure why they weren't there earlier.
2005-12-18 Gray Watson <>
* Added patches to [hopefully] improve the building under Mac OSX.
Thanks to Terry.
* Added dmalloc_get_stats function to report on internal heap
stats. Thanks to Sam.
2005-12-17 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed a problem with the RPM .spec file.
2005-11-30 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed a problem with double free not reporting
ERROR_ALREADY_FREE. This was confusing.
2005-10-27 Gray Watson <>
* Made some changes to the docs to address the possible mmap
issues.
* Added better checking for mmap compatibility during autoconfig.
2005-10-15 Gray Watson <>
* Added a section to the startup docs about the .tgz file
extension.
2005-07-26 Gray Watson <>
* Improved some of the startup docs and installed a new version of
texi2html. The old one was hiding the NOTE entries.
2005-06-05 Gray Watson <>
* Improved the usage output for dmalloc. Thanks to murf.
* Improved some of the error values to better identify internal
dmalloc errors.
* Fixed problem where if LARGEST_ALLOCATION is set to 0 the test
program still checks it. Whoops. Thanks to sbied.
2005-03-18 Gray Watson <>
* Increased the basic block default to 32k.
* Fixed some documentation.
* Added better error code output in dmalloc_t.
* Fixed the global Makefile to install libs as 755 not 644.
2005-01-11 Gray Watson <>
* Added some fixes for Compaq's C compiler, some include ordering
fixes, and some C++ compiler defines. Thanks Burl.
2004-12-03 Gray Watson <>
* Improved dmalloc_t to better detect and test a small heap area.
2004-10-19 Gray Watson <>
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.4.2.
* Refined the definition of the 'alloc-blank' and 'free-blank'
tags. The 'alloc-blank' token clear various parts of the
allocation block when it is allocated. The 'free-blank' token
clears a pointer when it is freed.
* Also, the library was clearing the user spaces of an allocated
chunk with the alloc-blank character and the non-user spaces with
the free-blank character. This seemed confusing and wrong so now
all sections of an allocated chunk are cleared with the
alloc-blank character.
* Fixed a couple of longer standing stupid bugs via feedback from
Philippe. Thanks dude.
2004-10-12 Gray Watson <>
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.4.1.
* Found and fixed a stupid little test bug so re-released as 5.4.1.
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.4.0.
* Added return.h support for ARM processors from Silvester Erdeg.
* Improved the manual a bit.
2004-09-13 Gray Watson <>
* Made allocating zero size chunks the default.
2004-08-13 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed some missing ; and a int/unsigned-int bug from feedback
from Joe Buehler.
* Added return.h support for AIX 4.3 RS/6000 from Joe Buehler.
* Added backwards compatibility (ugh) to %d for logfile name.
2004-07-10 Gray Watson <>
* Starting release of 5.4.0 with beta.
2004-07-09 Gray Watson <>
* Removed force-linear token because made invalid with mmap
addition.
* Removed the growing up testing and other restrictions for the
heap because mmap made it invalid. Drastically reduced the
various up and down macros and associated testing.
* Added mmap usage inside of the library. Should it be the
default?
2004-07-08 Gray Watson <>
* Removed auto-seeding of internal random with variable seed.
This was creating random addresses for programs making it hard to
debug.
2004-07-01 Gray Watson <>
* Added bigger and better debugging server section to the manual.
* Added header/footer to online manual.
2004-06-29 Gray Watson <>
* Really improved the logging of error information about pointers.
Better formats, added prev/next for fence post errors, etc..
2004-06-07 Gray Watson <>
* Added return.h support for ia64 machine type from Didier Remy.
2004-04-09 Gray Watson <>
* NOTE: next release I should increase the maximum source file
length from 10k to 30k or something.
* Fixed some typos in the docs and created a new gdb translate
return-address section. Thanks Luk.
2004-02-18 Gray Watson <>
* Fixed info install with feedback from Matt Fuller. Thanks.
2004-01-31 Gray Watson <>
* Added compat and arg_checking of atoi, atol, and memmove.
Thanks to Guy (guyresh) for pointing out the omissions.
* Added arg checking to internal strdup functions.
* Moved argv.c code to use loc_snprintf.
2004-01-28 Gray Watson <>
* Releasing dmalloc version 5.3.0.
* Fixed a bad bug where calls to _dmalloc_chunk_pnt_check from the
arg_check.c functions were not locking. Ugh. Thanks much to
Guy (guyresh).
* Added dmalloc_verify_pnt function for proper external pointer
checking.
2004-01-14 Gray Watson <>
* Added a dmalloc_memory_allocated function to assist with the
checking of the memory size start feature.
* Added automatic checking of the start at file:line, iteration,
and memory size features.
* Added a --start-size argument to dmalloc to start the library
checking the heap after we allocate a certain size of memory.
Thanks to andyc_2k.
* Added some more documentation about destructors.

options with a function and not just the environmental variable.

looks a lot better however.

VA Linux release. Thanks guys.

token. Non-linear heaps really are the default these days (on AIX
