i need a little help please

[twistedmike]

i am look for two apps one to find out where my program has any memory leaks (if any). and a program to see how secure it is and where the security problem is (if any)

If you're on Linux, use valgrind for the first.

[twistedmike]

could i still check my program on linux if it is coded for windows?

[Lindley]

Only if you've avoided using any Windows-specific functionality.

Do you have a link for this? I tried googling it to see what it was like but found nothing on it.

I use Visual Leak Detector which is extremely simple to use.

Peter_APIIT was probably talking about Rational Purify.

Oh, ok. I see that it's not free - Visual Leak Detector is.

Oh, ok. I see that it's not free...

Rational Purify Plus isn't free but the trial version time period is unlimited. From the website:

The evaluation period for this trial is unlimited. This trial limits the level of detail of some PurifyPlus reports.

I haven't tried it yet but I plan to.
