I've normally found libumem quite reliable (that's not to say the ::findleaks is bug free, of course).

Silly question - do you know for certain there is a memory leak?

Hello,

while developing C++ based applications on OS 2009.06 I'm curious if there is 
any reliable tool I may use for checking memory leaks of my C++ 
libraries/applications. I've tried to use:

1) libumem/mdb -- this does not work, i.e. it reports none C++ memory leak
2) librtc/dbx check -- this does not work, i.e. my program crashes quickly when 
librtc is preloaded and its core file suggest it crashes on SIGSEGV directly in 
RTC library
3) purify trial -- unsupported on SunOS 5.11

Strange or perhaps interesting thing is that I remember I've used libumem 
successfully on SXDE 1/08 at its times and while developing the same software, 
but now it's no go.

Do you have any idea what to try and how?

Thanks!
Karel
