NJAMD

[Xiaowei Yang]

A few days ago, I posted a message asking whether NJAMD is ported to
FreeBSD. I was told there was no need for porting because the NOTES
file from the source distribution claims NJAMD runs under
FreeBSD. However, I tested NJAMD on FreeBSD machines and found some
problems.

For a simple program C++ I wrote, NJAMD reported memory leak while
there isnot. I did the test both on FreeBSD 4.7 and 5.1, using gcc
versions 2.95, 3.2, 3.3. I will attach the program at the end of the
message. NJAMD on a redhat 8.0 reports the right results.

Can someone recommend me a malloc debugger that works under FreeBsd? I
like NJAMD because I do not need to link the library during
compilation. Is there any similar tool under FreeBsd? I'd appreciate
your feedback!

Attached is my test program, followed by results reported from RedHat
and FreeBSD.
