    If you are using Visual Studio, it will tell you automagicaly where the leaks are.

    Are you sure? I had the impression that that feature is only provided by Visual Studio Team System, not by all editions of Visual Studio.

    hmm you could be correct.. not 100% sure, but I've used MFC in VS 6 and 7 and it always tells me, because MFC has build-in debug macro's for memleak detection.

    If you don't learn about debugger then it is hard to find leaks in your program source code although the general good coding habit will be of help. MFC also provides serveral functions to detect leaks but these gain boils down to the coding and programming techniques along with logical reasoning and problem skills you need to obtain via real coding of particular problems you run into.

    Re: Checking for memory leaks

    It's there in all versions but without using MFC you have to some work yourself. See MSDN on for instance the subjects 'CRT Debugging Techniques' and 'Memory Leak Detection Enabling'
    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.
