C<SvREFCNT_dec()> which can query, increment, and decrement reference
counts on SVs. This document will take a passive, and safe, approach
to data debugging and for that it will describe only the C<Dump()>
-function. For format of output of mstats() see
+function. For more information on the format of output of mstat() see
L<perldebug/Using C<$ENV{PERL_DEBUG_MSTATS}>>.
Function C<DumpArray()> allows dumping of multiple values (useful when you
result are quite a bit worse on 64-bit architectures). If a variable
is accessed in two of three different ways (which require an integer,
a float, or a string), the memory footprint may increase yet another
-20 bytes. A sloppy malloc(3) implementation can make inflate these
+20 bytes. A sloppy malloc(3) implementation can inflate these
numbers dramatically.
On the opposite end of the scale, a declaration like
Total sbrk(): 215040/47:145. Odd ends: pad+heads+chain+tail: 0+2192+0+6144.
It is possible to ask for such a statistic at arbitrary points in
-your execution using the mstats() function out of the standard
+your execution using the mstat() function out of the standard
Devel::Peek module.
Here is some explanation of that format:
