[windev] Buffer and handle checking in C++ 2008

I know Boundschecker is expensive, but compared to the cost of
"debugging by customers" is even higher.  Rational Rose used to be
pretty good, too, but I don't know if they're still around.  VTune will
occasionally find problems, too, but it isn't specifically for that.

We have a lot of - yes, it's true! - Fortran code, and boundschecker
will find bufferoverruns there, too, so I'm not sure how you can
restrict things to C++ and not C.  buffer overruns happen regardless,
and running code is in machine language anyway.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any good memory/pointer/handle checking software for
C and  C++  using Visual Studio 2008. We currently use BoundsChecker in
Visual C++ 6.0, but cant justify the purchase for 2008 due to the price
and our low usage.

I've looked at MemDebug which does a lot of what I need, but it's C++
only and we need C also.

Thanks,

Andy.
