c++ memory leak detection

Hello,
Is there any good memory leak detection software for C++ available as a
freeware...
I had used purify but had to discontinue due to huge license fees...
Also tried Sun workshop memory monitor........its a kind of buggy as it
doesnt detect most of the
memory leaks.

Cud anyone suggest some good memory leak detection software preferable
freeware.

Thanks
jack

(valgrind, I've heard, is quite nice.)

I looked at those pages, but I don't see that the post is off-topic.
Please explain how the post is off-topic.

comp.lang.c++ is about the standard C++ language. Third-party
applications (such as those for finding memory leaks) aren't part of
the language, and thus aren't discussed.

Can you provide a link to the group's charter?

IIRC, there's no charter. Just the welcome message and FAQ.
