- Our SENTINEL Debugging Environment is currently shipping for AIX 3.2 on
- RS6000 systems. SENTINEL performs runtime memory access checking including
- access outside of bounds, access to freed areas, memory leaks, access
- to uninitialized data areas, etc. Whenever a problem is found, you are
- given a complete stack trace (including function name, file name, and line
- number) of where the problem was detected and where the data area was
- allocated (if the problem is associated with an error).
-
- Send email if you would like more information.
