The Memory Analysis tool

The main system allocator keeps track of statistics associated with allocating and freeing memory such that the memory statistics module can unobtrusively inspect any process's memory usage. To extract the most information from your program, launch it with the Memory Analysis tool enabled, and then your program will use the debug version of the malloc library (librcheck.so).
