Tool for memory leak detection

Nepal

I need to find a memory leak detection tool for windows, something like Valgrind under Linux, but all the tools that I've found are expensive or just a free trial. Does anyone know a free or low-cost memory leak detection tools for windows?

Try Deleaker - cost cheap and work fine. You can use VLD - good tool also. Good luck!

For Linux: Valgrind + memcheck

No, It's for Windows only but you can use MemCheck or GDB - it's open source(for GNU project).
Good luck :D

I know that Valgrind - the best solution for Linux, because I'm always working on Linux. I badly know debuggers for windows.But now I need something specifically for windows!)

Have you tried "Visual Leak Detector":http://vld.codeplex.com/? or to use the Win32 function @_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks()@

Thanks for the tip!
Have not tried yet. But be sure to follow the advice. I have heard about Visual Leak Detetstor but did not use it.

You could try the free version of AQTime. The free version does not integrate into VS, it's stand-alone.
Here's the link: "AQTime Standard":http://smartbear.com/products/free-tools/aqtime-standard

On one forum I read about "drmemory". Does anyone uses this debugger?

Nepal

I have heard about this debugger, but didn't use. It can be used for windows and linux.

There are almost every day opens a new similar topic on this site. Why? o_O

Nepal

Why? Because there are so many programs for windows! Too many! I think that for a few weeks of research I know more than 50! And this is not the limit!

to create a theme for a user manual, otherwise the self-study

Maybe you are right! In any case, it is interesting!

I think that if there are a lot of programs, then each programmer can choose a convenient program.
Notice that There are many ways how to plug the leak by yourself.
