Memory Sleuth 1.0
The fast way to solve memory mysteries in Delphi 2.0 projects


For the fastest way to solve memory mysteries in your Delphi 2.0
projects, turn to Memory Sleuth 1.0 from TurboPower Software Co.

Just the Facts...
-----------------
Like the best detectives, Memory Sleuth doesn't just warn you about
problems in your code, it reports back to you with details. Even the
trickiest memory and resource allocation problems are no match for
Memory Sleuth.

Memory Sleuth's streamlined interface identifies problems and puts
them right in front of you so you can make the necessary changes and
move on. Allocation errors are identified with the exact line number
in your source code where the allocation took place!  Don't bother
translating hexadecimal addresses to seek out the problem code.
Memory Sleuth does the dirty work for you!

Program Hangs Solved
--------------------
But catching allocation errors in only part of the story.  It also catches
accidental heap memory overwrites too, and that helps you track down some
of the peskiest bugs of all.  Simply turn on overwrite protection, and
Memory Sleuth watches to make sure you never write beyond the bounds of
an allocated memory block.

Memory Sleuth's innovative Snapshot feature captures all kinds of useful
information about your running program.  And when your program exits,
Memory Sleuth provides statistics on its peak resource usage too.

Secret Messages
---------------
In addition, Memory Sleuth makes it easy to embed private debugging
messages that show up on its Output Debugging page, so you can trace where
you are in your program, check variable values and other conditions too.
Use Microsoft Windows' OutputDebugString API call, or the more versatile
Memory Sleuth Debugging Driver that makes it a snap to send formatting
messages to the Debug Output page.

Easy to Use
-----------
Even the best debugging tool can't help if you don't use it.  But
Memory Sleuth is so unobtrusive you'll rely on it all the time. There
are no special compiler or linker switches to set, and no changes to
your source code. Simply compile your Delphi 2.0 project with debugging
information included. Then run Memory Sleuth and your program at the
same time.  Memory Sleuth monitors your whole program or just the
units you specify.

When your program ends, Memory Sleuth reports on total resource
consumption. But even better, you'll see exactly where allocations
were made but never freed.  And since Sleuth shows you where allocations
took place, correcting the problems is fast and easy.
