MEMCHECK VHM memory leak analysis tool

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.

The trace is limited to 1024 entries and will wrap.

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.
