Check for memory leakages in UnetSocket C APIs #65

Open notthetup opened 3 years ago

notthetup commented 3 years ago

Originally from https://github.com/org-arl/unet/issues/861

https://valgrind.org/ is great tool for this.

Also look at the macOS tool https://dr-rost.medium.com/detect-memory-leaks-on-macos-4cf257529aa

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ManagingMemory/Articles/MallocDebug.html

Also here's a great guide for how to run valgrind.. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5134891/how-do-i-use-valgrind-to-find-memory-leaks
