libadimalloc (3LIB)

Name

libadimalloc - Application Data Integrity aware memory allocation library.

Synopsis

cc [ flag... ] file... -ladimalloc [ library... ]

Description

Functions in this library provide scalable object-caching memory allocation with multithreaded application support.

The libadimalloc library provides buffer overrun detection, out of bounds pointer detection, use after free and stale pointer errors using the SPARC Application Data Integrity APIs.

The libadimalloc library also provides extensive debugging support, including detection of memory leaks, buffer overruns, multiple frees, use of uninitialized data, use of freed data, and many other common programming errors. For more information, see mdb(1).

Interfaces

The shared object libadimalloc.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. For more information on shared object interfaces, see Intro(3).

calloc                        free
malloc                        memalign
realloc                       valloc

The shared object also provides the following debugging interfaces. For more information, see adimalloc_debug(3MALLOC).
