I can recommend trying out MPatrol, which not only replaces the traditional
C malloc/free style functions, but also C++  new/delete, and also overrides
core functions like memset, memcpy to protect & dectect invalid pointers
and buffer overflows in their use.

If your application is multi-threaded its certainly a better bet than
Valgrind, since the latter doesn't allow concurrent execution of threads,
basically serializing the emulation in a single process.

Dan.
