[Dev-C++] Leak detection lib?

[Nicolas R. <ni...@bo...>]

I already inquired about this a few months ago. I'm just insisting, if=20=

you don't mind.

Thanks,

--------- begin re-posted request -----------

We are (still) looking for a decent memory debugging tool (i.e. memory=20=

leak detection lib) that

      - is free (at the very least for academic purposes)
      - is reasonably solid (for students of an algorithms and data=20
structures course, not a production environment)
      - is easy to compile and install on the latest (ideally=20
unmodified) Dev-C++
      - works with C++-style memory requests=20
(new/new[]/delete/delete[]); we don't need malloc/free.

We have tried several of the freely available packages (mss, mpatrol,=20
yamd, etc) but they are all quite old and unfrequently mantained, and=20
thus aren't easily compiled with the latest gcc bundled with the=20
current Dev. There's also a MinGW package (for mpatrol, I think) on the=20=

MinGW website which seems broken (most probably due to being linked=20
against the older libs in previous MinGW versions).

I know it's no rocket science to get one of these libs to work=20
correctly, but we have failed so far. If anyone is using such a tool=20
successfully with Dev, any modified makefiles or whatever you can=20
provide would be very welcome. If you happen to share the same problem,=20=

do contact us; maybe we can combine efforts.
