[Ace-users] how to detect a memory problem

[jackyhwei]

Hi boys ,

I'm running an application by using ACE framework(FC 6 + ACE5.6.0),
but i found my app alway dump core after running a few hours or a few
days.

I've used gdb to debug the core dump file, but found nothing usable
(sorry, i'm a newer to linux, to gdb, and to ACE), but it seems I
encountered with a memory allocation problem or memory leak,  details
see the below, :

What i'm wondering is how can i catch a memory problem under ACE
framework, or are there any tools i can
use to detect it?

BTW, I've tried memwatch, but someone said it does not support C++ so
well, especially a C++ program under ACE framework.

thanks in advance.
