I am building source on Windows using Cygwin, I need to find places with memory leaks and possible memory leaks. I know about Valgrind used for memory leak detection in Linux.

  • Can Valgrind be used along with Cygwin so that it works in a Windows based environment?
  • If yes can you please tell what configurations, etc. are needed?
