MemCheckDeluxe is an enhanced leak finder/memory profiler. It tracks all
the memory allocated, and can report where it was created at the end of
a program (memory that would have been leaked). It tracks the largest
and smallest chunks allocated, the maximum memory used, and the highest
number of allocations at any time. Some headway has been made to allow
C++'s allocation operators new and delete to be tracked.

perceived, and the process by which they led to unique design concepts, as well as the architectural philosophy underlying the design process.

Managing Software Engineers
...What attracts good programmers? Traditionally the best programmers seek the most challenging problems. They want to work in an organization that is trying to build something important. Programmers have huge and fragile egos. If they are somehow assigned to a trivial problem and that is their only possible task, they may spend six months coming up with a bewildering architecture more complex than the Windows 2000 operating system, merely so that they can show their friends and colleagues what a tough nut they are trying to crack. Another source of ego-gratification for programmers is to have other programmers admiring their work. Open-source software projects thus have a big recruiting advantage over closed-source software companies....
