[QUOTE="miggles, post: 45075, member: 5662"] I use Rational Purify all the time at work, but it's only available for SunOS, Irix, redhat, and windows. Can anyone recommend a similar tool for OS X? I have seen a code called OmniObjectMeter, but it looks like it can only handle full-fledged applications which have been linked through Project Builder, not simple command line linked applications (e.g. an a.out which links in nothing and prints "hello world" to the terminal). Also, I have a long standing problem with debug-compiled (-g) objects which essentially makes gdb inconvenient and useless. Whenever I enter gdb, I always have to provide it the directories where the original source code objects are located. This is not trivial when I am linking in several dozen libraries or building different variants of codes under different source trees. Is there a way for gcc to encode the full paths into the objects to make gdb less cumbersome? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
