Is memprof only caring about unfreed memory?

[Tilman Sauerbeck <tilman code-monkey de>]

Hi,
I'm trying to use memprof to get some stats on which functions allocate
how much memory etc.

The problem I'm having is that I can't get any profile at all for my
program. It's being executed just fine, but I can't get memprof to
generate a profile.

That situation is reproducable with a program like this:

  int main() {
    void *p = malloc(1024);
    free (p);
  }

Once I remove the free() call and introduce a leak, memprof gives me a
profile.
So it does seem as if memprof only keeps track of leaked memory.
Is it supposed to work that way, or did I stumble upon a bug?

FWIW, I'm using SVN trunk w/ binutils 2.17.

Thanks,
Tilman
