mtrace / addr2line not resolving
I am attempting to use mtrace to do some memory leak detection but am unable to get it to resolve addresses to file names with line numbers. I have been working at this for at least 2 days now and am out of ideas. I hope someone at this forum may be able to offer some assistance.
I have created a very simple c++ file to test with:
I have set the environment variable:Code:linuxcom-04> cat leak.cc #include <mcheck.h> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { mtrace(); cout << "hello world" << endl; char* str = new char[20]; }
And compiled with debugging:Code:linuxcom-04> echo $MALLOC_TRACE leak.out
Ran the program once and got the mtrace output fileCode:linuxcom-04> g++ -g leak.cc linuxcom-04> ls a.out leak.cc
Ran mtrace with the executable name and the log fileCode:linuxcom-04> ./a.out hello world linuxcom-04> ls a.out leak.cc leak.out
and only got the address of the caller. I believe mtrace uses addr2line so I figured I would attempt using that directly, but it was no help:Code:linuxcom-04> mtrace a.out leak.out Memory not freed: ----------------- Address Size Caller 0x0949a378 0x14 at 0x92b86e
linuxcom-04> addr2line --versionCode:linuxcom-04> addr2line -e a.out 0x92b86e ??:0
GNU addr2line 2.17.50.0.3 20060715
linuxcom-04> mtrace --version
mtrace (GNU libc) 2.3.2
I have tried on both ppc and i386-linux systems with different executables. I have updated binutils. I've done a mess of other little things trying to find out what the problem could possibly be.
I really hope someone here will be able to offer some assistance and end my suffering.
Thank you for your time,
