Deallocation and Reuse Notifications

You can also tell MemoryScape that it should notify you when an already allocated block is deallocated or reallocated. Here’s how:

1	Start then stop execution.

2	Display the Memory Reports | Heap Status | Heap Status Graphical Report screen.

3	Locate the block you want to be notified about and right-click on it.

4	In the pop-up, select Properties, Figure 59.

Figure 59: Block Notifications

 

Notice the Notify when deallocated and Notify when reallocated check boxes at the bottom of the window.

5	Select one or both of the check boxes.

If an event occurs while the program is executing (see Task 4: “Controlling Program Execution”), MemoryScape stops execution and displays its indicator symbol.

You can now display the Manage Processes| Process Event screen (see Figure 57). This is described in the previous section of this task.
