Hi Folks,

I've been following this thread on and off, and various other memory
related threads. We have a memory tracer for Lua in the works. This is
similar to Ruby Memory Validator which you can read about at

        http://www.softwareverify.com/ruby/memory/index.html

We haven't finished the Lua version mainly because we are busy but also
because we are unsure of interest in this type of software.

So my question is, are you (all of you, not just D Burgess) interested
in a software tool like this?

Please reply to the list if possible (rather than me directly) so that
others get to see your comments.

Cheers

Stephen
