Is there a free or shareware tool to detect memory leaks in C++ programs?
I've done a variety of google searches but either came up with commercial
products or ones I could not get to detect blatantly leaking code.

These appear to be either for C ( to detect malloc) or java , or bad
links...

The Boehm Collector is free, and can be used to detect leaks. http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/

This also appears to be C (malloc/free) related based on this:
Using the Garbage Collector as Leak Detector
The garbage collector may be used as a leak detector. In this case, the
primary function of the collector is to report objects that were allocated
(typically with GC_MALLOC), not deallocated (normally with GC_FREE), but are
no longer accessible

It's both C and C++ compatible. It's a widely known GC implementation
for C and C++. Use it or not, I really don't care.

All I was asking is if it would detect 'new' and 'delete' bugs and not just
malloc and free. ( I only use new and delete).

There was an posting in clc++.moderated about a memory leak detector and
how to write one yourself (or at least adapt a detector to handle the new
and delete operators). The only problem is that it relies on macros, which
can interfere with programs using the placement new and delete operators. http://wyw.dcweb.cn/leakage.htm This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
