ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Debugging and run time error checking tools for C/C++ on Linux
I am working for an optical network company ( Sycamore Networks). We are using LINUX for the control card programming
of our network equipment. The programming language is
C/C++ with a GNU compiler. We are looking for debugging tools
and run time error/memory leak checking tools for LINUX operating system. Can UNIX tools, such as dbx and Purify, be
used on a LINUX machine? If yes, how to get them? If not,
any other tools are available?
pretty much anything that can be used on a UNIX can be used on linux, provided you have the source code. if dbx and purify are open source, then they most likely will work on linux.
just offhand tho, i know that there's a package on unix called 'lint' that checks for memory leaks. i think the linux variant is called 'lclint'.
