Re: root and insure++ ??

Hi Michael,

   I use regularly Purify on ROOT and all our tests run without memory leaks
(according to Purify). I've also tried Insure++. With a previous version
I had problems compiling ROOT, but with the latest version it seems to work
fine. For some time there was even a ParaSoft (makers of Insure++) engineer
on the roottalk mailing list who was specifically testing Insure++ compatibility
with ROOT. If he did his work properly Insure++ should work fine with ROOT
on most platforms.

Cheers, Fons.
