- I am not a functional language implementor, so please pardon my ignorance
- about space leaks, but here is something that might be very important. On page
- 123 of IEEE Software, September 1992, is an article about a product called
- Purify for debugging memory management in C and C++. The author of the article
- cannot speak highly enough of it. This may be just the thing to eliminate
- space leaks forever.
- For more information, it appears you can email to info@pure.com.
