Debug Malloc Library
********************

Version 5.5.2 - May 2007

   The debug memory allocation or "dmalloc" library has been designed as
a drop in replacement for the system's 'malloc', 'realloc', 'calloc',
'free' and other memory management routines while providing powerful
debugging facilities configurable at runtime.  These facilities include
such things as memory-leak tracking, fence-post write detection,
file/line number reporting, and general logging of statistics.

   The library is reasonably portable having been run successfully on at
least the following operating systems: AIX, DGUX, Free/Net/OpenBSD,
GNU/Hurd, HPUX, Irix, Linux, Mac OSX, NeXT, OSF/DUX, SCO, Solaris,
Ultrix, Unixware, MS Windows, and Unicos on a Cray T3E. It also provides
support for the debugging of threaded programs.  Note: Using With
Threads.

   The package includes the library, configuration scripts, debug
utility application, test program, and documentation.  Online
documentation as well as the full source is available at URL
<http://dmalloc.com/>.  Details on the library's mailing list are
available there as well.

   Please use the forums at URL <http://dmalloc.com/> to discuss any
problems or to request features.  If you are still having problems, the
author can be reached via his home page at URL <http://256.com/gray/>
with questions or feedback.  Please include the version number of the
library that you are using, your machine and operating system types, and
the value of the DMALLOC_OPTIONS environment variable.
