It would be very useful to know the highest allocated address for every block displayed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a feature request.
Currently perftools report shows memory sizes allocated by different functions.

But for debugging it's also very relevant to know what is the highest
allocated address for every displayed in the report block. For example even
if the report shows that memory consumption is <1MB process size can still
be arbitrarily large due to one non-freed object very high up in memory space.

So I propose to add an option to display the highest surviving address
allocated from this block in  hexadecimal form.

pprof in Perl seems very heavy, too large for Perl.
Looks like Python would have been way much better choice.

I don't understand the need for this functionality.  Where in memory an object 
is
should only affect virtual memory, not physical memory.  What kind of problem 
are you
trying to debug, that this functionality would help?

It's been a year without a response, so I'm closing this bug WillNotFix.
