I found out today that Visual Studio has a built-in memory leak

years of programming, I thought some people here might not have known
it either.  Hope it helps someone.


Not sure if it is of any interest, but under Linux you can use
Valgrind (http://www.valgrind.org) to check your programs for memory
leaks and supposedly profiling, although I have never used the
profiling part. If you also install a patch for it called Omega, then
it will tell you where the memory that is lost is alloced, the point
at which it is lost and the size of the memory allocated. I found this
really useful for a project I was doing :)
