memscape

After MemoryScape displays its opening screen, you can begin adding programs and files to your memory debugging session. If you are running MemoryScape on a Macintosh, you can double-click on the program icon. Figure 33shows starting MemoryScape from a shell window and parts of screens you’ll use before you actually start debugging memory.

For additional information, see Adding Programs and Files to MemoryScape.

memscape program_name

MemoryScape responds by displaying its Home | Summary screen. You can now use the run control to start your program. (Figure 34.)

If your program needs command-line options, you can add them by right-clicking on the program’s name and selecting Properties, Figure 32.

If you change these arguments after program execution starts, restart your program for the changes to take effect.

memscape program_name -a arguments

Type all your program’s arguments after the -a. The next time you invoke MemoryScape on your program, these arguments will automatically be used.

MemoryScape displays its Home | Summary screen. (Figure 34.) Information on changing these options is discussed in the previous bullet.

memscape [ program_name [ memoryscape_options ] [ -a arguments ] ]
memscape memoryscape_options

MemoryScape options are typed either first or second, depending on if you are also naming a file. In all cases, arguments to your program must be the last arguments on the command line.
