Diagnosing Runtime-object Leaks
Reference: This page is a source-based technical synthesis of the LaTeX chapter cited below. For exact syntax, availability or ABI signatures, verify the versioned source, manifest and executable tests.
Scope and source boundary
Memory-leak diagnosis begins by separating caller-owned handles, module-owned references, cursors and session lifetimes.
Runtime operation requires observable startup, diagnostics, health, resource ownership and orderly shutdown. The source treats instrumentation and lifecycle as first-class engineering work. A successful startup does not prove that all services, transports or external dependencies are healthy, and an internal feature is not automatically a published contract.
Engineering rules
- Record startup prerequisites, configuration and failure surfaces.
- Instrument errors, correlations and operational latency where source support exists.
- Scope and release long-lived services, sessions and external handles.
- Check tests and manifests before describing a feature as production-ready.
