Re: Memory leaks

[Richard Stallman]

Is it possible to write code to record which vectors were consed by
the operation suspected of having a memory leak?  Then a function to
call from GDB to test whether a vector are still alive.

After you find one, you could do a GC with a conditional breakpoint
to stop when that vector is marked.  Then you would see exactly
what is keeping it alive.  If you do this for each vector that was
consed during the operation in question, you will eventually find
one that was expected to be GC'd, and find the bug.
