Is there a good Valgrind substitute for Windows?

Answer 1

I've been loving Memory Validator, from a company called Software Verification.

Answer 2

The best tool I ever used is DevPartner BoundsChecker - it's not free but it has an evaluation period.

Answer 3

If you're not afraid of mingw, here are some links (some might work with MSVC)... http://betterlogic.com/roger/?p=1140

Answer 4

Viusual Studio can help detecting memory leaks itself. See Microsoft Visual C++ Tips and Tricks -> "Memory Leaks" section. See also this post in SO

Although real tracing is only possible with the Team Edtion of Visual Studio.

Answer 5

Try Intel's Inspector XE product which can help you detect both memory and threading issues: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-inspector-xe/
