I am an application programmer and I do not have tools like Platform
Builder. Can you suggest some tool that could help me debug memory
leaks in the project AND would not require tools like the Platfrom
Builder ?


Thanks !!!

Just to add a few information. My target device runs WinCE 6.0 and the
processor is FreeScale, ARM1136- MX31

Look at www.entrek.com. The tools are very helpful. I've used them a lot.

I did try codeSnitch (a tool by entrek) but unfortunately it did not
work. My target device hangs when I try to run it from CodeSnitch. I
did contact the technical support team of entrek, they said they will
look into it and get back to me in few days.

Interesting. I've never seen that on any of four different devices, three
different versions of CE, and two different processors. Must be a tricky
problem! Good luck.

Hope it works fine with Visual Studio 2005 ?

I am able to compile my project after including vld.h but I see
nothing on the debug window. I am using Visual Studio 2005. Am I
missing something ?

Isn't the "Visual Leak Detector" targeted at x86 only?

I too think so (atleast that is what the comments on code project
said) but that is not an issue right now as I am not trying to run
Visual Leak detector on my target, I am using it to detect memoory
leaks on my simulator i.e x86.
