Ever use a leak detector? Even my graphics engines (with shared resources) uses a leak detector in debug mode. The monent you forget to release a resource, assertion at program termination.

Leaks are trapped with tooling, and all you need is one dev in the team to be diligant to run valgrind or visual leak detector or similar.

We run valgrind and asan as part of the CI, so it is checked before every merge and no developer has to be particularly diligent. But it is also not something that triggers a lot.

Do you think the best way to avoid bugs is to thoroughly test your code, or does understanding the code while you write it also help?
