Nooooo! "valgrind memory leak". Aaargh. Valgrind (memcheck) is not just a leak detection tool. Leak detection is so unimportant that it isn't even turned on by default.


Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t actually know all the details about how Valgrind works under the hood just that it does memory checking. I'll definitely read up more on it. If you have any good resources or tips, I'd appreciate your suggestions!



THanks for sharing, will take a look surely, as memroy mgmt will be crucial for doolang. And I can see you are valgrind developer?


I do most of the Valgrind maintenance these days.
