No, there isn't a way to get at that. Malloc only saves the caller of malloc and realloc. > I've been adding 'setmalloctag(x, getcallerpc(&foo))' > by hand in the source to slowly get to the caller > of the caller of (the caller of ...) of malloc > and could imagine there is a better way... ? That's what I use. If you allocate something and return it to your caller and he has the responsibility to free it, then call setmalloctag() to push that responsibility onto him. Or just think really hard. Russ
