More about Leaks

Since we added this program to our catalog in 2006, it has obtained 195 downloads, and last week it had 0 downloads.

About the download, Leaks is a pretty light program that doesn’t need as much free space than the average program in the section Science & Education.

Leaks is available for users with the operating system Mac OS X and prior versions, and it is only available in English. The program version is 1.03 and was updated on 11/24/2006.

The reporting done by the leaks command line utility is fantastic, as is the memory management event history of ObjectAlloc. If you use them together, you have a very powerful tool for finding memory leaks in Cocoa applications. Manually piecing together the data provided by these tools is of course often both time consuming and tedious.

The goal is to make this easier by providing a tool that combines the reports from the leaks command line utility with object memory management event history and user interface and data mining abilities reminiscent of Shark.

Features:

  • Open leak reports from file (via double-click if they have a “.leaks” file name suffix)
  • Open leak reports from pasteboard, or via the Leaks system service menu item
  • View merged callstack for all leaks in the report
  • View callstack as bottom-up, or top-down
  • Save preferred window layout and settings
