[fpc-pascal] Help with understanding HeapTrc output

[dmitry boyarintsev]

Graeme.

If you're using Lazarus, you'd probably be interested in using LeakView
package.

If you write out HeapTrc output into separate file, then LeakView dialog
will allow you to read the file, and present the the leaks in compact
tree-view style. Also, it will allow you to quick jump by double-clicking.
to the line, causing the leak .

You can write out HeapTrc into separate file in two ways:

1) if your project uses HeapTrc unit, then you can specify file name by
using procedure SetHeapTraceOutput(filename);

2) if you're using -gh compiler option, then you should specify environment
variable, IIRC: HEAPTRC:log=filename

LeakView has been included in Lazarus Package list, so the only thing you
need is to rebuild IDE with the package included.
