Summary : Utility for looking for perl objects that are not reclaimed
Description :
Devel-Leak module for perl
Devel::Leak has two functions NoteSV and CheckSV.
NoteSV walks the perl internal table of allocated SVs (scalar values)
- (which actually contains arrays and hashes too),
and records their addresses in a table. It returns a count of these "things",
and stores a pointer to the table (which is obtained from the heap
using malloc()) in its argument.
CheckSV is passed argument which holds a pointer to a table created by NoteSV.
It re-walks the perl-internals and calls sv_dump() for any "things"
which did not exist when NoteSV was called.
It returns a count of the number of "things" now allocated.
