MEMWATCH

• A memory leak detection tool. Basically, you add a header file to your souce code files, and compile with MEMWATCH defined or not. The header file MEMWATCH.H contains detailed instructions. This is a list of some of the features present in version 2.69:
  - ANSI C
  - Logging to file or user function using TRACE() macro
  - Fault tolerant, can repair it's own data structures
  - Detects double-frees and erroneous free's
  - Detects unfreed memory
  - Detects overflow and underflow to memory buffers
  - Can set maximum allowed memory to allocate, to stress-test app
  - ASSERT(expr) and VERIFY(expr) macros
  - Can detect wild pointer writes
  - Support for OS specific address validation to avoid GP's (segmentation faults)
  - Collects allocation statistics on application, module or line level
  - Rudimentary support for threads (see FAQ for details)
  - Rudimentary support for C++ (disabled by default, use with care!)
  - ...and more
