core-lightning/common/memleak.c

/* Hello friends!
 *
 * You found me!  This is the inner, deep magic.  Right here.
 *
 * To help development, we have a complete set of routines to scan for
 * tal-memory leaks (valgrind will detect non-tal memory leaks at exit,
 * but tal hierarchies tends to get freed at exit, so we need something
 * more sophisticated).
 *
 * Memleak detection is only active if DEVELOPER is set.  It does several
 * things:
 * 1. attaches a backtrace list to every allocation, so we can tell
 *    where it came from.
 * 2. when memleak_find_allocations() is called, walks the entire tal
 *    tree and saves a pointer to all the objects it finds, with
 *    a few internal exceptions (including everything under 'tmpctx').
 *    It then calls registered helpers, which can remove opaque things
 *    and handles notleak() objects.
 * 3. provides a routine to access any remaining pointers in the
 *    table: these are the leaks.
