# `extend_dmalloc`

Analyze return-addresses from dmalloc logfiles.

    extend_dmalloc
    dmalloc-log binary

## Description

`extend_dmalloc` will run `gdb`(1) to get information on the return-addresses from a `dmalloc`(1) logfile. Specifically it will examine any `ra=` lines and try to get the corresponding line numbers

The argument ``binary`` must be the binary that generated the log `dmalloc-log`.

This utility is part of the &kde; Software Development Kit.

## Notes

You may wish to direct the output from `extend_dmalloc` to a file, since otherwise `gdb` seems to prompt for a return as if you are at the end of a page.
