Re: Ideas for debugging excessive garbage collection bugs?

[William K. Foster]

Stefan,

Sorry for not being clearer. 

  How do I debug the source of allocations in Emacs?

  Is there a good break point to set that would be
  on the stack for any allocation, I could then look
  at several stack traces to see statistically where
  the culprit is probably coming form.

Thanks.
