Hi,

I have a library where I suspect memory leaks occur.
Sometimes the program terminates on:
texture[i] = pfuNewSharedTex(tex_name,pfGetSharedArena());

or

index = (ushort *)pfMalloc(n*sizeof(ushort),pfGetSharedArena());
(where n is reasonably small)
causes corruption of pfGeoSets which are stored elsewhere.

Would anyone know a piece of software that can monitor memory so as to track
down erratic pointers for example? (Even if the memory is pfMalloc'd and not
malloc'd of course)

I have heard of "purify" but will it work in conjunction with Performer?

Thanks in advance,

Amaury.
