In this post we'll introduce two memory leaks into Postgres and debug them with heaptrack. Like almost every memory leak tool available to us (including memleak which I wrote about last time), heaptrack requires you to be on Linux. But a Linux VM on a Mac is fine too (that is where I'm running this code from).Althou...

Greets all! Another brief note today. I have gotten Guile working with one of the Nofl-based collectors, specifically the one that scans all edges conservatively (heap-conservative-mmc / heap-conservative-parallel-mmc).

This tool is different from a compiler which often has a complex frontend, an optimizing middle end, and code generators for various backends.
