Purifiers for Linux

Hi,

On Linux OS is any sotware or tool availabel for detecting any memory leaks. In SGI OS, we have one such tool called "purifier".

If any one knows about the same which works on Linux, please let me know

Thanks in advance

I know of two freely available ones and one commercial.

Freely available

Electric Fence
Mpatrol

Commercial
Parasoft`s (www.parasoft.com) Insure++

There are probably others too. A "memory leak" search of Freshmeat would probably turn them up.
