[newtowindows]

HI...
I am looking for a performance testing/memory leak finder kind of soft ware which can test qt desktop app. can any body suggest such tools available.( i am running qt app on windows xp)

Which processor? If it's Intel then VTune is good, if AMD then CodeAnalyst. Note however that neither will run on the others processor, so don't try running VTune on an AMD.

There's also processor neutral packages, such as IBM's Purify and PurifyPlus.

Visual Studio Team Edition has a profiler built in, whilst the non-team versions have a command line tool for profiling.

I didn't think Valgrind supported Windows?

That's right, but since Linux is mentioned in newtowindows "infobox" (?) and if his software doesn't need windows specific stuff, performance and memory leaks can be tested under Linux as well. (With limitations of course...)

Fair enough, I was basing my suggestions from his "i am running qt app on windows xp" part of his post. Didn't notice his "infobox".

If you develop with VisualStudio, maybe this helps?
