METHOD FOR ENHANCING DEBUGGING OF RUNTIME MEMORY ACCESS ERRORS BY USING AN INTEGRATED VISUALIZATION TOOL AND A RUNTIME MEMORY ERROR DETECTION TOOL

摘要

A method for enhancing debugging of runtime memory access errors by using an integrated heap visualization tool and a runtime memory error detection tool. The method includes displaying a plurality of memory allocations. The method further includes selecting a portion of memory. The method proceeds by analyzing the selected portion of memory. The method further includes executing the integrated heap visualization tool and the runtime memory error detection tool. A user is allowed to set a breakpoint in the user code where the memory was at least one of (i) last allocated, and (ii) freed.
