A while back I asked the net if anyone had a malloc/free test program that
would allocate and free randomly sized pieces of memory with random lifetimes
(and fill them with patterns that would be checked for corruption). I got
a number of useful suggestions (best one: use the "diff" program as a
malloc test ... it's brutal). Eventually, I wound up writing my own
test program, which actually helped me find a bug.
On the assumption that it might be useful to someone else, here it is.
Please note:
- No documentation (read the code to find out what it does).
- Could be extended in zillions of ways to make it more useful.
- No makefile, just compile "cc mtest.c"
A "shar" archive follows.
