    C++ Memory Leak Detector?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm looking for a decent FREE solution to checking for memory leaks in my C++ application. I know about Boundschecker, PurifyPlus, and GlowCode, however all of these cost money and are not an option for me.

    I would prefer a non-intrusive solution. That is, I would like to avoid changing code to add support for memory leak checking. However, if that is the only free solution then I will do it.

    If I must go with the intrusive approach, I have a few requirements:
    * The memory leak checker must support 64-bit applications
    * It must support unicode.
    * It must be as transparent as possible (i.e. the less work to set it up, the better).

    I prefer it to be simple, and recent. But these are not hard requirements. I know of Visual Leak Detector, however this project is several years old and out of date. I'm also sure it does not support 64-bit.

    Anyone have any suggestions? You know, I'm quite surprised that for such a demanding/common problem (checking for memory leaks), there aren't more options available.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, there is Valgrind for Linux. However, it sounds like you're on a Windows only platform.

    That's right. I'm on Windows. Sorry for not mentioning this.

    remeber to give feedback you think my response deserves recognition? perhaps you may want to click the Rate this post link/button and add to my reputation

    private lessons are not an option so please don't ask for help in private, I won't replay

    if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know
