Does Visual Studio have anything like Borland's CodeGuard?

Question

Is there anything in Visual Studio that will report memory leaks like Codeguard?

eg:

Answer 1

Built in, no. It has <crtdbg.h>, but it's not as comprehensive as implied by your example. There are various add-ons that provide this functionality. Boundschecker is a well-known and popular one.

Answer 2

http://dmoulding.googlepages.com/vld sounds pretty good. I haven't tried it yet myself, though.
