# The devel/p5-Devel-Leak port

## p5-Devel-Leak-0.03p6 – finding memory leaks in perl XS

## Description

    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.

    Note that you need a perl built with -DDEBUGGING for
    sv_dump() to print anything, but counts are valid in any perl.

    If new "things" have been created, CheckSV may (also) report additional
    "things" which are allocated by the sv_dump() code.
