Dr. Dobb's | Memory Leaks Detection: A Different Approach | December 10, 2007: "Existing Tools?
Are there existing tools that implement the functionality I've examined here? To be truthful, I'm not aware of any commercial memory-profiling tool, but there are a couple of open-source projects that implement this approach:
* Windows Leaks Detector (sourceforge.net/projects/winleak) for Win32 attaches to any running process (no source code required), provides a basic UI to start and end monitoring memory activity, and finally produces a report of all memory leaks with full call stack information. It also lets you automatically add debugger breakpoints when memory allocation occurs.
* LeakTracer (www.andreasen.org/LeakTracer) for Linux requires special compilation of your project."
