If you are a C or a C++ coder on an X86 platform then you should be looking at valgrind.
valgrind will run your program and detect memory problems with it. It can detect leaks where things are allocated and not freed (forgotten to close a filehandle?) This is excellent software that has already saved me hours finding bugs. I have used codeguard on Windows Borland compilers for this very reason, now I have an OSS solution. Really cool... Run your application through it today, you might be surprised to find some latent bugs. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
