Make.sh: This file makes the minimum number of links in a user's home directory to run the environment. Note that the links are not made dependent on the file system, but relative to the home directory.
debugger_gdb_dmalloc_init.text: This is a little helper to use dmalloc within gdb, use it via "source dmalloc.gdb"

It will provide a command dmalloc, which will ask the user for arguments to provide to the dmalloc application. The output will be in gdb format and will be parsed by gdb. Its main purpose is to generate breaks at allocations of unfreed memory (via dmalloc -a ...).

As gdb's language is very basic, there is no back substitution and variable arguments to user defined commands. Therefore the user defined command dmalloc will use a shell escape to ask the user for the arguments to the dmalloc applications. The dmalloc applications will execute with the provided arguments and write the output to a temporary file. This temporary file will then be read by gdb and deleted afterwards.
debugger_gdb_dmallocrc.text: Sample RC file for the debug malloc library. Rename this to .dmallocrc and place in your $HOME directory to activate. See dmalloc.info for more information.

This file maps tags to certain combinations of debug tokens. The tags here are provided as an example. You can also roll your own. Lines in this file should have the form:
tag token1, token2, ...

To use the above line you say 'dmalloc tag' which enables the debugging facilities token1, token2, ... You must pass the output from dmalloc through your shell's eval command to change your environment. See malloc.info for more information.

Lines can end with a '\' meaning it continues onto the next line. Lines beginning with '#' and empty lines are ignored
