KCR's Fast-Unto-Death ??

Its been 3 days now KCR's Fast Unto Death is going on and there are so many people(in fact very few extremists) supporting it. I belong to Telangana Region only, It is true that it is under developed, but does separate state solve the problem? The answer is NO. I wish this will end soon and people live at peace.

Finding Memory Leaks in Solaris

I work on Unix platform. I used to think that to find memory leaks/corruptions, we have valgrind in Linux, but there is no such tool for Solaris. While browsing, I came across many tools available for Solaris also and here I am mentioning about one of such tools which is simple and straight. dbx - is a utility for source-level debugging and execution of programs written in C++, ANSI C, Fortran 77, Fortran 95, and Java programming languages.
Here is step by step procedure to use it.
1)Here is my sample program
/* To Compile - cc prog.c */
int main()
{
void fun();
fun();
return 0;
}

void fun(void)
{
int *p;
p = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int));
return;
}


2) Compile this program
$> cc ex1.c

3) Start executable using dbx
$> dbx ./a.out

4) set memory checks option on check -memuse
(dbx) check -memuse

5) run the executable
(dbx) run

The output will be something like this,
=============================================================
Actual leaks report (actual leaks: 1 total size: 4 bytes)

Total Num of Leaked Allocation call stack
Size Blocks Block
Address
========== ====== =========== =======================================
4 1 0x8060c20 fun < main


Possible leaks report (possible leaks: 0 total size: 0 bytes)


Checking for memory use...

Blocks in use report (blocks in use: 0 total size: 0 bytes)



execution completed, exit code is 0
====================================================================
Here, actual leaks is 1 which is 4 bytes, at 0x8060c20 , reason is fun < main. So we can know that fun() has a memory leak.

dbx tells only function where memory leaks are there, but it will not give exact Line Number.

Something to be proud of

I have donated school uniforms to students in couple of schools in Miryalguda with the help of my friends Gopi Krishna, Mahesh, Nagaraju and Nagaseshu. Thank you very much guys for supporting me morally and financially.
