I’ve actually released log-malloc2 library for linux, that logs calls to memory allocation functions and should be very helpful when trying to locate memory leaks. It can be used without recompiling application, simply by preloading it using LD_PRELOAD . Logged functions: malloc realloc calloc free memalign Every function callĀ is logged with their parameters, amount […]

Just a short example C implementation of Oracle VARNUM/NUMBER type encoding, in case you could not use library functions. I didn’t found it anywhere when needed (and afterwards I found it doesn’t helps me at all due to little ‘problem’ in ora :() and Oracle documentation is pretty unclear about how-to do it. typedef […]
I’ve implemented new neat feature (to store unique content only once in cache) to my perl based etl tool and suddenly it started to print sometimes ‘Wide character in subroutine entry‘ perl warning in sha1_hex call. As if this was not enough processed content after being stored in cacheĀ started to be utf-8 corrupted in […]
