Valgrind does a much better job at this: it will also show you where the leaked blocks were allocated. OTOH, Valgrind is Linux-only and slow, but since I haven't used the '-R' option much, I don't know how usable this will be in practice (detecting memory leaks is one thing, identifying them is even better :-). ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
