Runtime memory leak detection in C

Hi,

Is there any tool availalble in VS 2008 team system that will allow runtime memory leak detection in unmanged code? Something that other third pary tools like Rational PurifyPlus do.


my code is for smart device (WinCE) and not use C++ or MFC


it only in C. (Compiler is TC )




thanks,

hi all,

after searching i got the solution

HI,

Our Code Analysis for C/C++ feature has several warnings that may help you detect the defects you are searching for. Code Analysis can be invoked from the command line by passing the /analyze switch to cl.exe, or in Visual Studio Team System by right clicking on your project and choosing Project Only -> Run Code Analysis.



More general information about Code Analysis is available here: Code Analysis for C/C++ Overview. A list of available warnings can be found here: Code Analysis for C/C++ Warnings.

HI,

Insure++ is a runtime memory analysis and error detection tool for C and C++ that automatically identifies a variety of difficult-to-track programming and memory-access errors, along with potential defects and inefficiencies in memory usage. Errors such as memory corruption, memory leaks, access outside of array bounds, invalid pointers, and the like often go undetected during normal testing, only to result in application crashes in the field. Insure++ will help you find and eliminate such defects in your applications to ensure the integrity of their memory usage.

During testing, Insure++ checks all types of memory references, including those to static (global), stack, and shared memory — both in user’s code and in third party libraries. Errors that Insure++ detects include:

• Corrupted heap and stack memory
• Use of uninitialized variables and objects
• Array and string bounds errors on heap and stack
• Use of dangling, NULL, and uninitialized pointers
• All types of memory allocation and free errors or mismatches
• All types of memory leaks
• Type mismatches in global declarations, pointers, and function calls
• Some varieties of dead code (compile-time)
