heap-memory

Lets say I open some application or process. Did some work with that. Now I closed it.

Need to know whether this application caused any memory leak. i.e used up some heap memory and not cleared it properly.

Can I get this statistics some how? I'm using Visual Studio (for development) under Windows OS.

Even I would be interested in knowing this information for any 3rd party application.

Case 1: char *MyData = new char[20]; _tcscpy(MyData,"Value"); . . . delete[] MyData; MyData = NULL; Case 2: char *MyData = new char[20]; MyData… >>> More
