I recently used a copy of Purify/NT to debug my MUD. I found the results quite interesting. I had expected more large memory leaks, but in truth there were only a couple small ones that were being repeated over and over (that's what I get from making changes to the code around the socket routines I suppose :) More interesting was the fence-post errors it found. In three cases I had declared a string array to be one character shorter than required, and several socials were accessing memory incorrectly. My question: Has anyone here used the UNIX version of Purify? Specifically under Linux..
