Testing glib applications with mpatrol

[Tony Cheung <dragonman asiayeah com>]

Hi,

I am going to use glib as a foundation library for some C application 
developments.

I have been using mpatrol, as a memory leakage detection tool. However, 
when I use mpatrol with glib applications, it reports some false memory 
leaks. Does anyone have any experience of using mpatrol with glib 
applications?

For example, when g_thread_init() is called, mpatrol reports, many 
memory leakages. (I use MPATROL_OPTIONS=LOGALL and the mleak tool).

Any way to use mpatrol with glib applications?

Thank you very much.
