Memory leaks

[Guysl]

Hi every1,
I'm a C programmer, with a limitted knowledge of OOP, and I would like to practice C++.
the following ain't homework:

I want to create generic code (parser maybe?) that helps
finding memory leaks and/or illegal memory access in a code.
(a kind of memory profiler).
I hold Meyers books EC++,MEC++(which I read most of it)
and the gang of four "Design patterns" (which I read a part).
Thats my starting point.

I need tips on any level of design and considerations.
I'm sure there are few ways to handle it, and I'm not
trying to develop a complete soulution,
just estimating my limits and expand my skills.

oh, and I want to use pure C++ without any environment
related tricks.

Thank you in advance,

Guy

Here's 2 links about overloading new() to help find memory leaks:

cma,
Thanks. I'm hiding one eye just to ignore the code there,
trying to read only the idea.
