valgrind - Tool for finding memory management bugs in programs

Website: http://www.valgrind.org/
License: GPL
Vendor: Scientific Linux CERN, http://cern.ch/linux
Description:
Valgrind is a tool to help you find memory-management problems in your
programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all
reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to
malloc/new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can
detect a lot of problems that are otherwise very hard to
find/diagnose.
