It looks like valgrind has a utility that hooks for you.
However, it also looks like valgrind requires linux to build, so I'm doing it but it's more work than I originally hoped.

valgrind should be an installable package.

maybe it was. I built it from the sources.

Not if you're using older versions of Visual Studio. We have a couple products still maintained using Visual Studio 2008 that build for 32 bit.

We build a part of our application called "DriverHost" as 32-bits in VS2022 and .NET 8.

That won't work.
Whatever the MSVC was able to compile back then, it wasn't C++. It was "C++-ish"

It served our purposes at the time; after all it made Mr. Object (one of my coworkers) happy  .
The fact that we're still using VS2008 to maintain these products is a reflection on how engineering management here is hardware-centric and it makes them lose their sphincter control when we mention changing tools.

I'm sure wored/works for you.
My code won't compile with anything less than GCC within the last 7 years or so, or VS2022.
It took microsoft that long to get their crap together.
Is it really that hard to make stdint.h?
And fix their template syntax madness?

We build 32 bit executables and dlls in VS2022 from C++ source. We still have to support 32 bit applications.

Yeah, for some reason when I was looking through installed targeting packs I didn't see x86 for some reason. It's there. I just missed it the first time.

You can enable Address Sanitizer on Visual Studio to find memory issues such as corruptions or overruns.

VS 2022 allows building for ARM, ARM64, x86, and x64. I don't remember if all compilers are installed by default, but they definitely may be installed from the installer.
Your confusion may arise because VS 2022, unlike the earlier editions, is a 64-bit application.

It's a holiday weekend in the US. Is Kent in the US?

The holiday is on Monday though.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Agreed, but from the looks of my office it appears it started today.

This should be an amusing thread. How have computers changed during your life?
---
In 1985, I purchased a $35 USD accelerator for my Zenith Z-100, which bumped the processor speed from 4.67 MHz to 7.5 MHz. It was an amazing change to the PC!!! [I originally put "Hz", which was pointed out as incorrect.]
That same year it cost $150 to bump that PC from 384 KB RAM up to 1 MB. After I got the PC back, only 1 software package (I think it was Turbo Pascal) could use more than 640 KB.
In 1989 I installed a 40 MB HD in our office server, quadrupling the storage space. We were excited, as the price had just dropped to $750 USD. Previously that same HD had cost nearly $1,500.
In 1999 I installed a new HD (can't remember the size offhand), and I did the math. Going by the per-MB cost, at 1989 prices the new HD would have cost $750,000. And at 1999 prices, the 40 MB HD would have cost about $0.02.
In 2009 I did the same thing -- at 1989 prices, the 2009 HD would have cost $45,000,000 ... and Excel didn't have enough precision to calculate the 2009 price of a 40 MB HD ...

First computer experience 1965. Had to wind it up every night. 
>64
It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

I started that same year. We had to "reboot" first thing every morning, although in those days the term was "feed the master" (as in Master Program).

"Cold start"?
On core storage machines, with proper programming, you could just hit the start button.
Why did I read this thread, I already felt old.

My first experience was in 1970, when I got access to the Board of Education's IBM 1130 and wrote some Fortran programs.

I remember getting a new 40MB harddrive for an AS/400 we had and helping lug that thing into the server room. It was freaking huge. Weighed at least 200lbs

I started as a consultant to the US Air Force. I recall a classified disk pack (DEC/VAX, I think) being "de-classified". The USAF was diligent about destroying anything that might even remotely contain classified information.
Two airmen carried the pack out onto the tarmac and literally pounded it flat with 12 lb sledgehammers. The remains were thrown in an incinerator.
