You're looking at outdated documentation. 1.3's alloc.c now lives in APR under memory/unix/apr_pools.c. > And, what are the tools that people have used for tracking leaks, > Efence, zmalloc, dmalloc, purify? Various people have used at least efence and purify, maybe others. But the whole point of the pools system is that it's very unlikely to get true memory leaks. Sometimes we have a resource (file handle, socket, etc) live longer than we wanted, and we consider that a leak, but you won't find that kind of thing with efence and I doubt you'd find it with purify or any of the others either. --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA
