My experience of turing on MallocStackLogging is that although it's
invaluable for finding leaks, it's also likely to make your
application crash. I seem to remember some threads here in the past
about it not being threadsafe.
True, but fixed in 10.5.
Well, it still crashes my app in 10.5 :-( Running out of space to
store all those stack traces maybe.
That should no longer be a problem, since they're paged out to disk
and not stored in RAM on 10.5 IIRC.
I've also never really had any problem with using MallocStackLogging
on earlier versions of Mac OS X. Perhaps it depends on what you're
trying to do, but I've used MallocStackLogging on very memory
intensive, and very busy, multithreaded applications on at least both
10.3 and 10.4.
That said - and to reiterate what I said earlier in this tread - Why
are you not using Instruments?
