Memory leak is a time consuming bug often created by C++ developers. Detection of memory leaks is often tedious. Things get worst if the code is not written by you, or if the code base is quite huge. Though there are tools available in the market that will help you in memory leak detection, most of these tools are not free. I found Windbg as a freeware powerful tool to solve memory leak bugs. At least, we get an idea about the code location which might be suspected to cause memory leaks. COM Interface leaks are out of the scope of this article. Windbg is a powerful user/kernel space debugger from Microsoft, which can be downloaded and installed from here.
