A c program to detect memory leak

Question

I have a code running on an embedded platform (Controller), it is regularly freezing. I think the problem is with memory leak. Is there any way to detect memory leak by writing a C program?

Answer 1

Use valgrind to detect memory leak please follow http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html for quick start

Also you need to cross compile it for finding memory leak as you are using embedded system
