Released malloc_count 0.7 - Tools for Runtime Memory Usage Analysis and Profiling

This post announces the first version of malloc_count, a very useful tool that I have been fine-tuning in the past months. The code library provides facilities to

• measure the current and peak heap memory allocation, and
• write a memory profile for plotting.
• Furthermore, separate stack_count function can measure stack usage.

The code tool works by intercepting the standard malloc(), free(), etc functions. Thus no changes are necessary to the inspected source code.
