    <p>We've been running for years with BoundsChecker for Visual C++ 6 (I think it was BoundsChecker 5 or 6, too). We've upgaded to VS2008 (finally!), and now need a follow-up for the outdated BoundsChecker.</p> <p>How's the landscape?<br> What tools are out there?<br> Any new kids in town?<br> Any new ideas dealing with the problems we used memory profilers for?<br> Your recent experiences with these tools?<br> Recommendations? </p> <p>The main application is C++ with many COM DLL's, we are looking to track native, C++ and COM leaks and objects. Bounds Checker for that size was already a pain in performance, sorting out the slew of data and some of its limitations.</p> <p>Support for managed applications (primarily C#) is required, though that may be a separate tool.</p> <hr> <p>Related (but IMO incomplete) question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2560858/modern-equivalent-of-boundschecker-for-visual-studio-2008">Modern equivalent of BoundsChecker for Visual Studio 2008</a></p> <hr> <p><strong>[edit]</strong></p> <p>Regardign the comment, <em>"In modern C++, you just use self-checking types, and bounds are never broken"</em> : </p> <p>Reference counted smart pointers can have cyclic references. Interfacing COM components is inherently unsafe, as it requires a lot of manual memory management. I've had a UI-less 3rd party service leak GDI handles so it crashed our overnight tests - the vendor blamed it on a "strange" Microsoft API. I have to interface C-based libraries, I have tons of legacy code that assumes allocation trickery in the sense of Numerical Recipes is a good thing and variable names longer than 3 letters are for typists. I have code from engineers for whom a <code>std::vector&lt;double&gt;::iterator</code> looks much more scary than a <code>double ***</code>, good luck developing and testing these without a solid background in signal processing. </p> <p>So unless you come here, rewrite and encapsulate the core of a million lines of code in fool-proof C++ classes and make sure a few dozen products still work as before, keep your smart-assery to yourself. I wish I wouldn't need a memory checker, but I do. Thank you.</p>

    1. COIn modern C++, you just use self-checking types, and bounds are never broken.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
