Subject: [PATCH 1/3] kmemleak: Show more information for objects found by alias
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:09:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100715150901.21793.2120.stgit@e102109-lin.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100715150703.21793.94815.stgit@e102109-lin.cambridge.arm.com>

There may be situations when an object is freed using a pointer inside
the memory block. Kmemleak should show more information to help with
debugging.
