Looking for good Purify like memory check tool for gcc

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Andy,

I recommend IBM Rational PurifyPlus for Linux, and IBM Rational PurifyPlus for Unix (Solaris).

q.v. <http://www.rational.com/products/pqc/index.jsp>

Or, alternatively, you can write your own general-purpose new, delete, new[] and delete[] (and/or malloc/alloc/realloc/free) routines which you've instrumented with start/end sentinels (for write-overruns) and allocation tracking (for memory leaks).

For a cheaper solution, try running your code through Borland's CodeGuard.  (Is CodeGuard still around...?)
