The MEMCHECK VHM memory leak analysis tool is an alternative vendor
heap manager used to diagnose memory problems. MEMCHECK VHM performs
the following functions and displays the results in two reports:
- check for heap storage leaks, double free, and overlays
- trace user heap storage allocation and deallocation requests
Restrictions
- MEMCHECK VHM works with C/C++ and Enterprise PL/I applications,
but is not enabled for COBOL or Fortran.
- MEMCHECK VHM and HEAPPOOLS are mutually exclusive. HEAPPOOLS will
be ignored when MEMCHEKC VHM is active.
- MEMCHECK VHM should not be used in PIPI, PICI, CICS®, and SPC environments.
