.SH NAME
ccmalloc \- Link C++ object files with ccmalloc debugging library
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ccmalloc 
.BI [ " --no-wrapper " ]
.BI [ " gcc | g++ " ]
.BI [ " compiler-option ... " ]
.BI file ...

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ccmalloc
is a script that compiles object files from C or C++ code with the ccmalloc
library.  The resulting code can be profiled for memory leaks and 
other bad practices.

The script is used as a replacement of the link line.  When used
with C++ code, simply prefix the command line with 
.B ccmalloc.
For example, if you normally link your program using
  
    g++ -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm

you simply use the following instead

    ccmalloc g++ -o binary mod1.o mod2.o -lm

With C code, prefix the command line instead with
.B ccmalloc --no-wrapper
to disable the C++ wrapper.  Linking C code with the
C++ wrapper results in unresolved symbols.

Note that only 
.B gcc,
.B g++,
and
.B g++-2.95
(on systems that have GCC 2.95) are recognized as compilers.

You should copy 
.I /usr/share/doc/ccmalloc/examples/ccmalloc.cfg 
to 
.I .ccmalloc
in your project directory and read it carefully.

Don't forget the 
.I -g
compiler flag if you plan to use a debugger.
