Purify reports any calls to PurifyWhatColors embedded in the program. This message reports the colors (green, yellow, and red) Purify detects for a region of memory. This message also displays the call stack.
Purify reports a What Colors message in the Error View and identifies the color of the memory as follows:
G (green) |
Memory that has been allocated and initialized. |
Y (yellow) |
Memory that has been allocated, but not yet initialized. Memory returned by malloc is yellow. |
R (red) |
Memory that is unallocated and uninitialized. The memory has either never been allocated or it has been allocated and subsequently freed. |
