Paper Abstract:	Our visualizing system shows the situation of memory usage of C programs. It includes both stack area of local data and dynamic allocated area. It makes a log file about memory usage by modified user program execution and then analyzes the log file to make the usage graph. Based on the graphical image, user can know where each event occurred on the C source program interactively. Therefore user can recognize the accurate location where the largest memory area was used, and find which memory allocation caused memory leak. These functions are efficient for embedded system, whose memory size is limited strictly.
