# PetscMallocDump

Dumps the currently allocated memory blocks to a file. The information printed is: size of space (in bytes), address of space, id of space, file in which space was allocated, and line number at which it was allocated.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    PetscErrorCode  PetscMallocDump(FILE *fp)

Not Collective

### Input Parameter

| fp | - file pointer. If fp is NULL, stdout is assumed.

### Options Database Key

| -malloc_dump <optional filename> | - Dumps unfreed memory during call to PetscFinalize()

### Fortran Note

The calling sequence in Fortran is PetscMallocDump(integer ierr) The fp defaults to stdout.

### Notes

Uses MPI_COMM_WORLD to display rank, because this may be called in PetscFinalize() after PETSC_COMM_WORLD has been freed.

When called in PetscFinalize() dumps only the allocations that have not been properly freed

PetscMallocView() prints a list of all memory ever allocated
