In my research, I'm taking over an application and would like to test it for memory leaks, invalid memory accesses, and such. It has been suggested to me that I try Purify, by Rational (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/purifyplus/). Before diving into trial versions and purchases and such, I'd like to see if we already have a site license for Purify (or something similar that will do a memory profile of a C application). So the question to you is: do we?
It is our understanding that the Parasoft Insure++ product has similar functionality. We have a license for that. It is installed in /cs/parasoft/insure++.
To use it,
set path=(/cs/parasoft/insure++/bin.linux2 $path)
insure -- # will give a usage message.
A README file and examples subdirectory in that
directory contain additional information.
