Subject: dmalloc distribution omits dmalloc.cc
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Package: dmalloc
Version: 3.1.2-1
The Debian distribution of dmalloc does not include dmalloc.cc. This
file is needed for the use of dmalloc with C++ programs. From
dmalloc.info:
" For those people using the C++ language, some special things need to
be done to get the library to work. The problem exists with the fact
that the dynamic memory routines in C++ are `new()' and `delete()' as
opposed to `malloc()' and `free()'."
" The file `dmalloc.cc' is provided in the distribution which
effectively redirects `new' to the more familiar `malloc' and `delete'
to the more familiar `free'. Compile and link this file in with the
C++ program you want to debug."
