Visual Leak Detector

Visual C++ provides built-in memory leak detection, but its capabilities are Minimal at best. This memory leak detector was created as a free alternative to the built-in memory leak detector provided with Visual C++. Here are some of Visual Leak Detector`s features, none of which exist in the built-in detector: * Provides a complete stack trace for each leaked block, including source file and line number information when available. * Provides complete data dumps (in Hex and ASCII) of leaked blocks. * Customizable level of detail in the memory leak report. Other after-market leak detectors for Visual C++ are already available. But most of the really popular ones, like Purify and BoundsChecker, are very expensive. A few free alternatives exist, but they`re often too intrusive, restrictive, or unreliable. Here are some key advantages that Visual Leak Detector has over many other free alternatives: * Visual Leak Detector is cleanly packaged as an easy-to-use library. You don`t need to compile its source code to use it. And you only need to make minor additions to your own source code to integrate it with your program. * In addition to providing stack traces with source files, line numbers, and function names, Visual Leak Detector also provides data dumps. * It works with both C++ and C programs (compatible with both new/delete and malloc/free). * The full source code to the library is included and it is well documented, so it is easy to customize it to suit your needs.
