- <p>The allocation mechanism's within APR have a number of debugging modes
- that can be used to assist in finding memory problems. This document
- describes the modes available and gives instructions on activating
- them.</p>

-<h2><a name="options" id="options">Available debugging options</a></h2>
- <h3><a name="alloc_debug" id="alloc_debug">Allocation Debugging - ALLOC_DEBUG</a></h3>
-
-
- <div class="note">Debugging support: Define this to enable code which
- helps detect re-use of <code>free()</code>d memory and other such
- nonsense.</div>
-
- <p>The theory is simple. The <code>FILL_BYTE</code> (<code>0xa5</code>)
- is written over all <code>malloc</code>'d memory as we receive it, and
- is written over everything that we free up during a
- <code>clear_pool</code>. We check that blocks on the free list always
- have the <code>FILL_BYTE</code> in them, and we check during
- <code>palloc()</code> that the bytes still have <code>FILL_BYTE</code>
- in them. If you ever see garbage URLs or whatnot containing lots
- of <code>0xa5</code>s then you know something used data that's been
- freed or uninitialized.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="alloc_use_malloc" id="alloc_use_malloc">Malloc Support - ALLOC_USE_MALLOC</a></h3>
-
-
- <div class="note">If defined all allocations will be done with
- <code>malloc()</code> and <code>free()</code>d appropriately at the
- end.</div>
-
- <p>This is intended to be used with something like Electric
- Fence or Purify to help detect memory problems. Note that if
- you're using efence then you should also add in <code>ALLOC_DEBUG</code>.
- But don't add in <code>ALLOC_DEBUG</code> if you're using Purify because
- <code>ALLOC_DEBUG</code> would hide all the uninitialized read errors
- that Purify can diagnose.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="pool_debug" id="pool_debug">Pool Debugging - POOL_DEBUG</a></h3>
- <div class="note">This is intended to detect cases where the wrong pool is
- used when assigning data to an object in another pool.</div>
-
- <p>In particular, it causes the <code>table_{set,add,merge}n</code>
- routines to check that their arguments are safe for the
- <code>apr_table_t</code> they're being placed in. It currently only works
- with the unix multiprocess model, but could be extended to others.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="make_table_profile" id="make_table_profile">Table Debugging - MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE</a></h3>
-
-
- <div class="note">Provide diagnostic information about make_table() calls
- which are possibly too small.</div>
-
- <p>This requires a recent gcc which supports
- <code>__builtin_return_address()</code>. The error_log output will be a
- message such as:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- table_push: apr_table_t created by 0x804d874 hit limit of 10
- </code></p></div>
-
- <p>Use <code>l *0x804d874</code> to find the
- source that corresponds to. It indicates that a <code>apr_table_t</code>
- allocated by a call at that address has possibly too small an
- initial <code>apr_table_t</code> size guess.</p>

-
- <h3><a name="alloc_stats" id="alloc_stats">Allocation Statistics - ALLOC_STATS</a></h3>
-
-
- <div class="note">Provide some statistics on the cost of allocations.</div>
-
- <p>This requires a bit of an understanding of how alloc.c works.</p>

- <p>Additionally the debugging options are not suitable for
- multi-threaded versions of the server. When trying to debug
- with these options the server should be started in single

- <p>The various options for debugging memory are now enabled in

- enabled by uncommenting the define for the option you wish to
