Try using ccmalloc or Insure++.

You could try ElectricFence. I have found it pretty efficient and easy to use. I
can't find a home page, but RPMs are available at
http://niteowl.userfriendly.net/linux/RPM/ElectricFence.html

Electricfence sometimes don't track of few overwrite errors.
So use ccmalloc instead.

The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better - so I installed FreeBSD.

mpatrol works well with g++ and can detect memory leaks in a multitude of
ways (see http://www.cbmamiga.demon.co.uk/mpatrol/mpatrol_40.html). It
also has all of the features of Electric Fence and dmalloc for detecting
heap corruption. It's also free software and is open source.
