Is there a good Valgrind substitute for Windows?

Question

I was looking into Valgrind to help improve my C coding/debugging when I discovered it is only for Linux - I have no other need or interest in moving my OS to Linux so I was wondering if there is a equally good program for Windows.

Answer 1

This really depends on what compiler you are using. If you happen to use Visual Studio ( regular VS, NOT VS code ), then the compiler it provides is absolutely excellent ( Memory debugging is so easy with it ). If you happen to be using other compilers like clang / gcc then its really what they recommend since its part of their tool chain.

Just googling around since our industry changes so fast brought me to this "https://codecondo.com/top-10-ide-for-c-and-cplusplus-for-programmers/", I found this interesting.
