About LeakHelper

Small library for removing all unwanted memory leaks, caused by memory allocators/deallocators.

Installation

1. Download header and source file.
2. Include header into your source file when you want to use it.
3. Use!

Usage

Initialize listing

First, you need to initialize listing. To do so, execute function and pass maximum count of pointers program will use.

init_listing(4); // Allocate memory for 4 pointers

Allocating memory

You have two functions for allocating memory: lmalloc() and lcalloc(). All of them take exactly one argument - memory size, and return pointer. Don't forget to check if it's valid!

void* ptr1 = lmalloc(32); // Allocate raw memory block 32 bytes size
void* ptr2 = lcalloc(64); // Allocate zero'ed out memory block 64 bytes size

Freeing memory

There is one function to free pointer: lfree(). Works only with pointers created using lmalloc() or lcalloc().

lfree(ptr1);

Finish program

At the end of program (or function) you can put free_all() function to free all pointers created with library, and prevent memory leaks.

free_all();

Example
