Well it's a bit overkill on the Palm but it should be fine for development:
I use (and praise!) HeapManager, a _free_ superfast debugging memory
allocator from Biit, Inc. HeapManager is available for download for free,
including the source code. The allocator is a bit "hairy" for simple Palm
applications, but it has tremendous debugging options and saved my Mac code
several times already. I probably wouldn't recommend it for any production
application since it's too much code for a small Palm app, though.
I guess that with minimal changes (mainly, OS allocations), HM could be
ported to the PalmOS in a minimal amount of time.
