I've Googled around but I haven't found a way to catch memory leaks in my project in Linux. I remember under windows there was a simple header you could include and it would catch memory leaks. But what are my choices under Linux? Thanks

I highly recommend Valgrind. It takes a try or two to figure out, but it's worth it.

I'd use an external tool such as Valgrind for that.
