Please take a look at discover, the memory error checking tool that is

Update 2? Has that been released yet?
It seems to be available for S10, but not OpenSolaris:

The documentation for the new tool looks pretty spiffy. ;-}
Besides trashmail living up to its name, I just noticed this with the
new compiler:
cc: Warning: Option xbinopt=prepare is not available on x86/x64
Solaris platform, ignored
Bummer. In addition to the lack of "S11" support, it's a SPARC-only
tool. That's probably going to limit the fun I was planning to have. I
hope a new version is coming some day ...
No, you no longer need the option. It works by default on both SPARC and
x86 (assuming you have the latest patches).
Do try a hello malloc app - you get a very impressive report from discover.

Darryl.
