Search your code for occurrences of new, and make sure that they all occur within a constructor with a matching delete in a destructor. Make sure that this is the only possibly throwing operation in that constructor. A simple way to do this is to wrap all pointers in std::auto_ptr, or boost::scoped_ptr (depending on whether or not you need move semantics). For all future code just ensure that every resource is owned by an object that cleans up the resource in its destructor. If you need move semantics then you can upgrade to a compiler that supports r-value references (VS2010 does I believe) and create move constructors. If you don't want to do that then you can use a variety of tricky techniques involving conscientious usage of swap, or try the Boost.Move library.

有一些著名的编程技术可以帮助您将内存泄漏的风险降至最低:

if you have to do your own dynamic memory allocation, write new and delete always pairwise, and make sure the allocation/deallocation code is called pairwise avoid dynamic memory allocation if you can. For example, use vector<T> t whereever possible instead of T* t = new T[size] use "smart pointers" like boost smart pointers (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm) my personal favorite: make sure you have understood the concept of ownership of a pointer, and make sure that everywhere where you use pointers, you know which code entity is the owner learn which constructors / assignment operators are automatically created by the C++ compiler, and what that means if you have class that owns a pointer (or what that means if you have a class that contains a pointer to an object it does not own).

如果使用gcc，则有gprof可用。

我想知道程序员如何发现内存泄漏

有些人使用工具，有些人做你做的事情，也可以通过同行代码审查

是否应该遵循某种标准或过程来确保程序中没有内存泄漏

对我来说:每当我创建动态分配对象时，我总是把释放代码放在后面，然后在中间填充代码。如果您确定之间的代码中不会出现异常，那么这样做是可以的。否则，我会使用try-finally(我不经常使用c++)。

除了其他答案中提供的工具和方法之外，静态代码分析工具还可以用于检测内存泄漏(以及其他问题)。 Cppcheck是一个免费的健壮的工具。但是还有很多其他可用的工具。Wikipedia有一个静态代码分析工具列表。

在应用程序代码中不应该使用“new”或“delete”。相反，应该创建一个使用管理器/工作人员习惯用法的新类型，其中管理器类分配和释放内存，并将所有其他操作转发给工作人员对象。

不幸的是，这比它应该做的要多，因为c++没有“operator .”的重载。如果存在多态，则工作量更大。

但是这样做是值得的，因为这样您就不必担心内存泄漏，这意味着您甚至不需要寻找它们。

AddressSanitizer (ASan)是一种快速的内存错误检测器。 它可以发现C/ c++程序中的use-after-free和{heap,stack,global}-buffer溢出错误。它发现:

在free之后使用(悬空指针解引用) 堆缓冲区溢出 堆栈缓冲区溢出 全局缓冲区溢出 退货后使用 初始化顺序错误

这个工具很快。仪器程序的平均速度为~2倍。
