'leaks' message

My app has a debugging mode in which it invokes 'leaks' on itself. I am now seeing this message on stderr:

Target process is an ancestor and permitting live process for ancestors so not generating a corpse to save resources by default.

This sort of makes sense, but I would like a more detailed explanation. Is there some option I should be sending to 'leaks' to operate in a better mode? Should I be invoking it differently?

It sounds like it’s already operating in a better mode (-:

To understand what’s going on here, you need to understand what leaks means by “corpse”. Have a read of this post.
