Memory allocation in multi-threaded application

[baerten]

Hi everybody, I like to find out where a function or maybe an entire library allocates a huge amount of memory. In the task-manager I see that the application really uses 25MB of the memory and allocates a total of 166MB. I tested already GlowCode, but it displays only the memory which is really in use. Is there another tool or programming technique to find the call of the function? Big thanks for any help :)

I think he meant which code calls the heap allocator? Try IBM Rational Purify. They have 30-day license I believe. It should keep track of allocations and deallocations, leaks, etc, complete with the stack of the callers.
