NAME
Devel::LeakTrace::Fast - indicate where leaked variables are coming from.
SYNOPSIS
perl -MDevel::LeakTrace::Fast -e '{ my $foo; $foo = \$foo }'
leaked SV(0x528d0) from -e line 1
leaked SV(0x116a10) from -e line 1DESCRIPTION
Devel::LeakTrace::Fast is a rewrite of Devel::LeakTrace. Like Devel::LeakTrace it uses the pluggable runops feature found in perl 5.6 and later in order to trace SV allocations of a running program.
At END time Devel::LeakTrace::Fast identifies any remaining variables, and reports on the lines in which the came into existence.
Note that by default state is first recorded during the INIT phase. As such the module will not pay attention to any scalars created during BEGIN time. This is intentional as symbol table aliasing is never released before the END times and this is most common in the implicit BEGIN blocks of use statements.
TODO
Improve the documentation.
Clustering of reports if they're from the same line.
Stack backtraces to suspect lines.
