Rational® Purify® is a dynamic software analysis tool designed to help developers write more reliable code. It includes two capabilities packaged into a single product: 1) Memory debugging (pinpoints hard to find memory errors such as uninitialized memory access, buffer overflow and improper freeing of memory) 2) Memory leak detection (identifies memory blocks that no longer have a valid pointer). Purify is supported on Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, and AIX®.
