Purify or Comparable???

hi,

What software tool is recommended for examining memory leaks in code? Does a close cousin of Purify exist for LinuxPPC/ What do you coders recommend?

thanks,

Mike

I've never used Purify, so I can't offer a comparison, but...

I've found that dmalloc works quite well for debugging memory allocation related problems. See http://dmalloc.com/.

I've used purify in a SunOS environment and it worked great. Combined with Pure Coverage I was able to test all my code for memory leaks. I'm not sure if it's available for LinuxPPC, but maybe for Linux i386.
