Next week I’m off to the Eclipse Pluginfest which conveniently is being hosted by Symbian down in London. The idea of the event is for plugin makers like me to test with other plugins, to make sure they don’t break each other.

I’ve therefore spent a couple of weeks desperately trying to pull together something that can be installed on someone else’s PC. I’ve got further than I expected – I have a memory leak debugging plug-in which can be installed on a standard S60 3.1 SDK, using a standard Carbide.C++ Express 1.1 IDE, and will give you a useful diagnosis whenever a memory leak occurs on the emulator.

There’s still a long way to go before it’s a saleable product (if indeed there seems to be any market opportunity for a memory leak plugin), but here are a couple of screenshots of the work-in-progress. It ought to be enough for useful testing this week, anyway. (And yes, it’s got the silly bug logo in the corner. For now.)
