--enable-magic (CWDEBUG_MAGIC)
[
Configuration Options And Macros
]
Description
Adds a magic number to the beginning and the end of each allocated memory block, and checks this when the block is deleted or reallocated.
When to use it
In general, this should be used as long as you are developing a program, unless you want to do speed tests.
Configure option
This is enabled by default (but
--enable-alloc (CWDEBUG_ALLOC)
must be enabled as well). Use
configure --disable-magic
to disable it.
