finding memory leaks

[Ron Eggler]

Hi,

I co-wrote a project that apparently is suffering friom memory leakage. Now
my task is to find and fix those.
I'm developing using eclipse.
Does anyone know the best possibility to find such leaks?
I looked on the net and found different approaches but all seemed to be
kinda difficult. Does anyone know a "quick & dirty" one?

I'm using:
linux
gcc 4.1.3
eclipse 3.2.2
cdt 3.1.2

Thank you!

I'm not sure how "anyone" does it, but I'd use valgrind and I expect
this to be a rather effective method as far as you are willing to work a
bit on the command line.

Thank you Daniel,
valgrind I will have a look at that.
I for sure aam willing to work on the command line.

But I'm not quite sure this question is on topic in comp.lang.c++

I wasn't sure where to post it so i thought i'd try it here.
Thanks for your response!
