In a Unix world I've been happily using gdb for debugging and valgrind for memory analyzation.

Are there open-source quality alternatives for Windows?

I'm looking for lightweight pieces of software that do what you need, and never get in your way (just like gdb and valgrind).

  • GDB is actually available for windows as well. – atis Apr 28 '10 at 13:07
  • You really can't beat MS visual studio. Accept the fact that it is not open source and get the free version. You are at a disadvantage without it. – Tim Apr 28 '10 at 19:39

Microsoft Visual Studio Express edition is free (but not open source).

In the Microsoft Debugging Tools there's also the WINDBG debugger. Also free, not open source.
