memory leak & double free checks

Hello
Is there any software for *bsd which could help in debugging my
application ? (i need to find memory leaks, and i have problems with
double free()ing memory).

Thanx
Michal

by the way:
my gdb return segmentation fault when i try to debug my application. I
think it's because it's using -llthread (linux threads library).
It hangs when it has to create thread :(
Is it normal ?

Is there any better tool ?


Thanx
Michal

Will the code run under Linux?  Then you could use Valgrind to track
down such bugs.

What system is this on? If it's Solaris look at
watchmalloc(3MALLOC). If it's Solaris 9 also look at libumem(3LIB).

Or some of the built-in alternatives: watchmalloc and libumem
which come for free with the OS (libumem since update 2 of S9;
watchmalloc since 2.6 or so)

Does Solaris get matched by the *bsd glob? I'm curious.

(I don't know the tangled and mixed lineages of all *nixes.)
