To debug memory leaks you may use LeakTracer. Just google for it.

Do you compile with gcc? Then you probably want to compile it with -pg and run your programme in a realistic environment. Afterwards you can run gprof to profile your programme for execution times, number of function calls, etc.

Valgrind is a very good tool.
