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 I know of Visual Leak Detector, however this project is several years old and out of date.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.
