I'd like to find someone with access to Purify on Unix, as > I no longer do (I have it for Windows though). We have purify on solaris/sparc and insure on linux/x86. I don't have much time to spend on this at work, and I don't know anything about how purify and insure need to be set up, but if somebody gave me instructions, and said "do this with this source", I'd be able to run the tools, and maybe even do some debugging (it's a virtual surety that bugs will be found if the tools haven't been run before). Cheers, Sam p.s. I've only ever used valgrind once, it failed immediately with a message saying something to the effect of "this is an internal error, you should never see this message". Dissapointing, it looked useful, I can only run Insure and Purify on our servers, I could've run valgrind on my box. Btw, these tools all catch slightly different sets of errors, Its worth running them all. -- Sam Roberts
