Good memory profiling, leak and error detection for Windows
I'm currently looking for a good memory / leak detection tool for Windows. A few years ago, I used Numega's Boundschecker, which was VERY good. Right now it seems to have been sold to Compuware, which apparently sold it again to some other company.
Trying to evaluate a demo of the current version has been so far very frustrating, in the best "enterprisy" tradition:
(a) no advertised prices on their website (Great Red Flashing Lights of Warning);
(b) contact form asked for number of employeers and other private information;
(c) no response to my emails asking for a evaluation and price.
I had to conclude that BoundsChecker is now one of "those" products. Y'know, the type where you innocently call and tomorrow 3 men in black suits turn up at your building wanting to talk to you about "partnerships" and not-so-secretly gauge the size of your company and therefore how much they can get away with charging you.
SO, rant aside, can anyone recommend an excellent memory checking/leak detection tool, how much it costs, and suggestions for where to buy?
Answer
You can try Memory Validator. You can try the evaluation copy of the same as well.
