I've been using VLD (Visual Leak Detector) for some times, it works nicely for good code, for more complex code; it's not perfect.

From the documentation: It is designed specifically for use with Visual C++, and it depends on heap debugging functions found only in Microsoft's C runtime library.

A:
The mem package is an effective and straightforward tool to detect memory buffer overflows, underflows, leaks, double-deletion, and dangling references.
