    Took about 0.36 seconds for Google to find the answer.

    You don't need to an 'expert' to use Google.

    If you are using a 32 bit compiler there is also the Hans Boehm garbage collector which can also be used to detect memory leaks. Heck you could use it and forget about freeing your memory if you wanted to. It's the fast way to avoid memory leaks.
