Here's a little Perl script I wrote a while ago to help track down memory
leaks in nasm. First, compile nasm with LOGALLOC defined (see
nasmlib.c). That creates a log file of all allocs and frees. This Perl
script reads that file and tells you which source code lines caused a leak
(or a free of unallocated memory). There are many leaks, almost all of
them in the preprocessor.

#!/usr/bin/perl
my %mem = {};
my %alloc = {};
while(<>)
{
if (/realloc\((0x[0-9a-f]+).*\).*returns \((0x[0-9a-f]+)/)
{
$mem{$1}--;
if ($mem{$1} != 0) {
print "free before alloc! $_";
}
if ($mem{$2} != 0) {
print "memory leak! $_";
}
$mem{$2}++;
$alloc{$2} = $_;
}
elsif (/free\((0x[0-9a-f]+)/)
{
$mem{$1}--;
if ($mem{$1} != 0) {
print "free before alloc! $_";
}
}
elsif (m/returns (0x[0-9a-f]+)/)
{
if ($mem{$1} != 0) {
print "memory leak! $_";
}
$mem{$1}++;
$alloc{$1} = $_;
}
}
foreach $goo (sort keys %mem)
{
if ($mem{$goo})
{
print "$mem{$goo} $alloc{$goo}";
}
}
