Identify Memory Leaks:
1. Visual Leak Detector tool is a free, robust, open-source memory leak detection system for Visual C++. After installing it, you just need to tell Visual C++ where to find the included header(vld.h) and library file(vld.lib).

Performance Profiling:
Intel offers an array of application performance tools that are optimized to take advantage of the Intel® processors. You can employ these tools for developing the most efficient programs without having to write assembly code. These performance tools(Intel VTune Amplifier) will help you analyze your application and find and resolve the problem areas. The following sections summarize each of the recommended Intel® performance tools.
