Prevent Memory Leaks

A significant addition to this release is the Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor, an automatic memory manager for C++ and C. With this feature, you can prevent memory leaks from occurring simply by relinking your program.

Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor automatically frees up leaked memory. Using this tool, you can write new programs without calling free or delete, and you can automatically fix memory errors in existing programs, even those that use third-party libraries.

You can also monitor your memory usage from within your browser and identify how much memory each part of your program is using at any time.

Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor also has a web interface that allows remote debugging. You can debug programs that exhibit memory problems in the field, but cannot be reproduced in house.
