Is there a diagnostic that detects memory leaks?

we've got some issues with software at work, how does one determine if there is a mem leak?

You want to smoke? That's your choice -- just like any other form of suicide.

Basically you take snapshots of memory allocations during execution of your application and compare them.
The procedure is typically dependant of the compiler you use, if you're using Microsoft open the help file, and search for 'Memory leaks'/ 'Detecting' and 'Locating'.
