I submitted my project here before when I just wrote it out. Now I have realized all features that I can think (e.g. FreeBSD, libdw, expire memblocks active), fixed all known bugs, tested on CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian and FreeBSD, and have no plan any more on it. Then I post it again here for some new advices.

Besides, if you have a production service with very slow memory leak. The leak is so slow that you do not want to fix it. Then you should try `memleax`. It’s convenient and suitable for this case specially.

Thanks.

This looks really useful. Thanks for making it!
Thanks. Any advice is welcomed.
Thank you!!! This helped me find two memory leaks that I have been trying to locate for 2 weeks - in less than an hour. It wasn't a live system but being able to attach to a running process and specify a timeout allowed me to almost completely filter out init and garbage collection from the output. Valgrind was not helpful, I was at the point of looking at raw core dumps (and now I know what the problem is it would probably have worked...)
Glad to hear this.
+1 for using the GPL. I'm always happy to see more free software licensed under strong copyleft licenses.
