It's a marvelous technical achievement, and CenterLine improves it significantly with each release, but they haven't yet hit a combination that appeals to me for daily development work. Also, I've solved sticky problems in the past with such freeware as dmalloc . Ben Zorn lists still others in his valuable annotated collection of memory management notes. There is usually no performance penalty for either rectifying or collecting, and our performance is significantly better than Purify for leak detection. Great Circle is also available on a variety of Unix platforms.
More platforms are in the pipeline.
