Trace, profile or find memory leaks in any C/C++ application. Hitchhiker is a free Eclipse plug-in that lets you instrument any C/C++ application o­n the fly, trace and profile the application at near full execution speed, and visualize application internals using the Eclipse Workbench. Hitchhiker can be used throughout the application development lifecycle, beyond development into alpha, beta, production test, and production.
