Re: [GD-General] memory checking

[Brett B. <res...@ga...>]

Thanks for the note Timo.  I had a quick look and it is certainly =
something I'll look into. The problem with it specifically is that it's =
C++ and I need something in C and highly portable and endian friendly =
for PS2 and GameCube.  We have a build of Doug Lea's malloc =
(http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/) and I probably would be best served by =
trying to put a memory leak debugger inside that.  I'm not really =
excited about switching memory managers until I can find this bug though =
in case it magically disappears :)
Cheers,
Brett

Are there any standalone memory checkers out there? Anybody using =
