## I can't figure out which pointer is dangling
|
||||
|
||||
Usually this is a matter of straightforward reasoning, but should all else
|
||||
fail, another option is to re-build with the alternative dangling pointer
|
||||
detector as described in
|
||||
[docs/dangling_ptr.md](./dangling_ptr.md#alternative-dangling-pointer-detector-experimental).
|
||||
This will show the stacks for object creation, object destruction, and the
|
||||
destruction of the object containing the dangling ptr member.
