But, in order to do this properly you have to trap memory allocated from third-party libraries as well. To do this you need a much more complex approach than simply wrapping just the PHP allocation calls in some code. A tool like Purify or even the bounds checking version of gcc will do a much better job of this than any tricks we could add to PHP. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
