Abstract
Memory leak detection can be automated by assigning and recording an increasing sequence number to each memory allocation requested by an action. Call stacks associated with the action are also recorded. Several repetitions of the action can be executed. Allocations that occur in each action and that have similar or matching callstacks are defined as leaks. Allocations that do not have matches can be ignored.
