Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor

The Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor provides facilities to automatically report and fix memory leaks, memory fragmentation, and premature frees. It has three modes of operation:

• Debugging

• Deployment

• Garbage collection

These modes are dependent on the library you link your application with.

The components of the Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor are:

• libgc--the library used in garbage collection and deployment modes

• libgc_dbg--the library used in memory debugging mode

• gcmonitor--the daemon used in memory debugging mode
