If linux has valgrind which is an open source memory checker, is there any equivalent on Windows? I noticed ctest supports purify, but it looks like that's only a pay solution. Am I out of luck trying to find a memory checker that's open source on Windows? I've not heard of any. But IMO, Purify is worth the money IBM charges for it - you'll save more than that in time spent tracking down memory errors.

I have used boundschecker in the past (years ago) and now memoryvalidator but I find that these are very difficult to use when there are thousands of memory allocations tracked. I see way too many false positives (stl, boost, qt,mfc ...) and other issues. Also with these the memory corruption testing is way too slow to be helpful. It works fine on a small test project but fails miserably in an application with 1 million lines of code.

You can build your program with CMake and link against VLD. That's for sure. Next, run your program under Visual C++ debugger to perform the analysis and get result.
