no-herd maintainer-needed@gentoo.org If you want to remove memory leaks from your C or C++ programs or you experience strange bugs, probably due to pointer access to freed data, then ccmalloc may be the right tool for you. In general it can help you to track down memory related problems with C and C++ programs. It does not replace more sophistacted tools such as purify or valgrind, since it can not detect illegal memory reads, at least not all type of memory reads.
