LPC Library Functions: check_memory

NAME

check_memory() - checks driver memory allocation for errors

SYNOPSIS

string check_memory( int flag );

DESCRIPTION

This efun is only available when DEBUGMALLOC and DEBUGMALLOC_EXTENSIONS are both defined in options.h at driver build time. The check_memory() efun will cause the driver to examine its internal data structures for consistency and correctness; this efun is extremely handy when trying to track down driver errors which are caused by incorrect allocation or deallocation of memory. A string describing the results of check_memory() is returned.

Passing a 1 for the optional parameter 'flag' will cause check_memory() to return a summary of allocated blocks.
