You may want to contact rational, from what I know, they DO have some sort of beta test but they want some customers before they'll release it to market - that what I heard from someone there 2 months ago. Oh, and insure sucks, specially when it finds tons of other leaks, but not in your code

i have tried a lot of malloc debuggers and i can recommend dmalloc it's very good for finding leaks and validate pointers , but if you want simple and clear reporting try using memprof ( you can find it on freshmeat) it has a very good gtk gui for reporting leaks and profiling , but unfortunal

Hi, We all love the plurality of choices in Linux/Open-Source. However, it doesn't come without a price: The difficulty to choose a package from so many "competing" packages. I used freshmeat to search for a memory leak tracer. In return, I got an infinite list of libraries, all claim to do wh
