This site is still under construction.
Most of the content is here (if a little rough at the edges)
Leak
Browser is a commercial debugging tool.
It is one of the most effective tools for finding resource leaks in Win32 applications. It was originally written to find the leaks that other big name tools could not find.
Leak Browser will track down just about any type of leak in a Win32 application,
this includes:
- C malloc/free
- C++ new/delete
- System memory HeapAlloc, VirtualAlloc
- COM allocs like SysAllocString, safe arrays, CoTaskMem allocs
- Win32 handles, for example CreateFile
- GDI and User32, for example CreateFont
In fact there are about 350 functions that are known to Leak
Browser and monitored.
In the end nearly every resource allocation in a Win32 program will result
in a call to one of the monitored function.
Leak Browser
is designed to find leaks fast in Win32 applications, no recompilation is required,
no linking with special libaries. All you need are the .PDB files.
Leak Browser does not require your application to exit before reporting leaks,
and it does not require the resource be unreferenced (garbage).
Dump Writer
Also on this site are some open source tools and libraries.
Most of the content of this site is related to advanced C++ and Win32 issues especially debugging.

I have uploaded the final copy of the slides for the Debugging presentation at the 2006 ACCU conference. In the end there was only one additional slide (slide 54). If you attended (or even if you did not) and have some questions, use the contact page.
You can download them here
