memory leakage detection

[Haigu]

Hi here,
I'm writting a project with python embedded in C++. Since there are too
much C++ code, I'm not sure of getting the reference countings correct, nor
of the existence of circular references. So is there any way to detect
memory leaks in python???

Take a look at the Misc/SpecialBuilds.t xt file in the Python source
distribution, especially the section about COUNT_ALLOCS.
