NAME¶
memprobe - ROOT utility to examine memory usage
SYNOPSIS¶
memprobe [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
To activate the memory checker you have to set in the
.rootrc file the
resource
Root.MemCheck to 1 (e.g.:
Root.MemCheck: 1) and
you have to link with
libNew.so (e.g. use
root-config --new
--libs) or use
rootn.exe.
When all this is the case you will find at the end of the program execution a
file
memcheck.out in the directory where you started your ROOT program.
Alternatively you can set the resource
Root.MemCheckFile to the name of
a file to which the leak information will be written. The contents of this
memcheck.out file can be analyzed and transformed into printable text
via the
memprobe program (in
/usr/bin).
