profiler).

1: Hacking
==========

If you would like to hack on eazel-tools, or have patches, please send
mail to the eazel-tools maintainer: Pavel Cisler <pavel@eazel.com>.
Patches should also be sent to the Nautilus mailing list:
<nautilus-list@lists.eazel.com>

The HACKING file contains other things you should know when hacking on
Nautilus and when contributing code. Please, make sure you check the
coding style document in docs/style-guide.html and other documents
found in the "docs" directory.

2. Introduction
===============

Profiler is based on Corel's cprof. We have added support for shared libraries.

leak-checker is based on Owen Taylor's MemProf. It lists all the outstanding
allocations on program exit time, grouping them into groups of calls originating
from the same stack trace. It deals with threaded apps and shared libraries.
We have been using leak-checker extensively with great success for finding leaks
in Nautilus, GnomeVFS, Bonobo and other related libraries.

==============================
3: Distribution-specific notes
==============================

We have only used and tested these tools on RedHat 6.x systems.  We
are more than happy to accept patches to make them work on other
systems.
