title: Free Application to check Memory Leaks in Windows x64?
body: <p>I have been assigned to check memory leak for an API by my boss.
  The Application is created in C &amp; C++. So there is a possibility that memory is allocated using malloc &amp; new.
  I want to check the memory leak in Visual Studio 2010 in debugger mode in 64 bit Windows 7.
  The problem with task manager is that it is not showing stable readings (memory increasing &amp; decreasing by small amounts). Also the difference is small before &amp; after the API is run. So i cannot defitely say that x amount of memory is leaking per cycle.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched on the internet &amp; found that linux has a great tool for this. However I want a reliable tool for my requirements (Windows 7). I have come across these:</p>

  <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/duma/?source=recommended" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/duma/?source=recommended</a></p>
  
  <p>As mentioned over here:</p>
