Debug utility provided for debugging app on uClinux with gdb make the linux either hang or crash. I am working on a very time sensitive application in which I would like to find out if there are any memory leaks. How can I do that and also would like to do some back tracing. Can U suggest some way of doing this using ptrace system call, if there are no utilities avaliable.
