Memory Checker Tools For C++?

Posted by kdawson on from the heaps-and-bounds dept.

An anonymous reader writes "These newfangled memory-managed languages like Java and C# leave an old C++ dev like me feeling like I am missing the love. Are there any good C++ tools out there that do really good memory validation and heap checking? I have used BoundsChecker but I was looking for something a little faster. For my problem I happen to need something that will work on Windows XP 64. It's a legacy app so I can't just use Boosts' uber nifty shared_ptr. Thanks for any ideas."

    Replace new/delete, malloc/free, whatever/whichever, with your own tracking version. In the end you may come out with an even better idea of memory handling for whatever you are working on at the time. God-awful simple you idiot !! You disgust me that you are so stupid !!

    If you don't know what Cmd-Shift-1 and Cmd-Shift-2 are for, GTFO.
    If you think Firefox is a decent Mac application, GTFO.
    If you're still looking for the "maximize" button, GTFO.
    If the name "Clarus" means nothing to you, GTFO.
