Memory Leak Checkers for CB/ming gcc on XP; Re-Post to the correct forum now

[staloysius333]

Sorry about folks.  I posed this message to the wrong forum & it's a re-post here.  Hope it doesn't cause a problem.

I need a memory leak checker for CB on XP using the mingw32 (gcc) compiler.  Does anyone know of one?

Thanks!

Most garbage collectors and custom allocators can be configured to check for memory leaks, and I think there is something built into wxWindows, too, never used that though.

Hi

you can get a really nice one here :
http://www.flipcode.com/cgi-bin/fcarticles.cgi?show=64744

just add it to your program, read the readme.txt and voila!
if i remember right the only thing you need to change in your code is the order of includes.

good luck
