These tools and the Debugging Tools for Windows themselves implement many other useful features. To find out more about them, consult Debugging Help from Start, then Debugging Tools for Windows.

The Microsoft web site contains a great deal of useful information about debugging Windows programs. Search on "Debugging Tools for Windows."

You may also wish to investigate commercially-available tools, such as Purify and BoundsChecker. For more information on these tools, Google on "Rational Purify" and " DevPartner Studio". For more on heap debugging in general, Google on "heap debugging".
