a simple program where memory leak can't be detected after glibc upgraded to 2.3.2-4.80
it can be built with "g++ -g AA.cpp" and
then run by "memprof ./a.out"
This basically is "not suprising" - memprof is very fragile to changes in libc; you might want to try the memprof from Rawhide ... it might work better with the newer libc. memprof-0.5.1-3 from rawhide has the same problem )-: There is a possible workaround. Just do not let the target program end, like adding a scanf("%d", &a); at the end of the program. Then I can run memprof for memory leack checking On which versions does this workaround work? On RHEL 3 (memprof-0.5.1-3, glibc-2.3.2-95.3) I don't see any difference at all just by adding the scanf line in the end (right before the return) to the test progran in comment #1 Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
