Description-en: Simple and efficient memory-leak tracer for C++ programs
LeakTracer traces calls to new and delete, and reports
inconsistencies in the C++-level memory-management.
.
It has limitations (eg. when you override the new and delete
operators yourself), but is very easy to use (eg. compared to more
complete tools like mpatrol), traces the C++ level (unlike most other
tools), and gives pretty good results.
.
It uses gdb to display source-file information.
