Utility for looking for perl objects that are not reclaimed

DevelLeak has two functions NoteSV and CheckSV.

NoteSV walks the perl internal table of allocated SVs scalar values - which actually contains arrays and hashes too, and records their addresses in a table. It returns a count of these “things”, and stores a pointer to the table which is obtained from the heap using malloc in its argument.

CheckSV is passed argument which holds a pointer to a table created by NoteSV. It re-walks the perl-internals and calls sv_dump for any “things” which did not exist when NoteSV was called. It returns a count of the number of “things” now allocated.
