Dev tools, where do I report bugs?

Alex Zavatone
 

I’m interested in tracking down some memory leaks in Team Fortress 2 and some or its related processes and getting them over to the team. 

The box I’m testing on has 84 GB of RAM and 12 cores under MacOS 10.14.6.

The binary that I’m inspecting is 32 bit.

I can run heap on the hl2_osx binary, but when I run leaks, the leaks binary reports malloc errors in leaks32.

Does anyone know where I should report this?

Thanks in advance.

Just reporting it via the same channels you’d use for Xcode itself should be fine, it should get to the right folks that way.

Also, one avenue of investigation for this might be to check whether you’re using a custom allocator or using the operating system’s malloc/free. I know lots of games use their own fine-tuned allocators, which means that some of the general-purpose memory debugging tools won’t work with them. Usually a codebase that does this will have a flag you can set to use the system allocator instead, both so you can use standard memory tools and so you can benchmark.
