The XMALLOC_xxx tools in Squid is just simple malloc tracing tools.
These are very limited and not really useful for practical use. For
real malloc debugging a malloc debugger is recommended. I commonly
use the tools memprof and valgrind when debugging memory allocation
related issues. memprof when looking for leaks, valgrind to debug
allocation errors. there is several other tools but these are the
free malloc debugging tools I find most useful.
