Free License Offer

We've decided to offer Deleaker for free for all who has open source projects and want to fix leaks in the code fast. We just ask to mention Deleaker. That's all.

To get a license please contact us.

What is Deleaker?

Deleaker is a tool for Visual C++ developers to find memory leaks, GDI leaks, COM / OLE leaks, handle leaks and other leak types.

In the past Deleaker was available as extension for Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Unfortunately it made Deleaker unavailable for those who uses Express Edition as Express Edition doesn't support extensions.

We have just released new build 3.0.27 that includes standalone edition of Deleaker.

How does Deleaker work?

Deleaker is based on hooks. For each allocation and deallocation it saves stack traces and one a user click to Take snapshot it shows all allocations that are not freed yet.

Deleaker is available as Visual Studio extension and as a standalone tool.

Just a few screenshots. Extension mode:
